Lassen Volcanic National Park is located in the Northeast corner of California. The park contains all four types of volcanoes – shield, composite, cinder cone, and plug dome. The largest volcano in the park is Lassen Peak. Lassen is also one of the largest plug dome volcanoes in the world. The last eruptions were between 1914 and 1921. We were able to visit the park between 7/10-7/12. The first night we stayed in the southwest part of the park.
We made a brief stop the first morning at Sulphur Works. Here we could view sulphur springs, fumerole, and a mudpot. A fumerole is created when the sulphur gas escapes the Earth’s surface. Here is a picture of the suphlur springs and fumerole. The steam was difficult to capture. Here is a picture of the mudpot.
I took a picture of the recipe card. Kawaii!
The park receives significant amounts of snowfall every year causing many roads and trails throughout the park to be closed during the winter. This past winter, the late season storms generated so much snow the main road through the park, Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway, remains closed. The park estimates they will be able to clear the 50 feet of snow covering the roads by August. This amount of snow and delay hasn’t been seen for at least 50 years.
We were able to drive up to Bumpass and park the rig. The Bumpass Trail remains closed because of snow. Instead, we walked up to the point where they were still clearing the road. The snow lining the roads was spectacular!
After lunch, we went for an afternoon hike to Mill Creek Falls. The hike was highlighted with beautiful terrain, wild flower fields, and views of Lassen Peak.
The falls were serene and beautiful.
