About the Tour
Your adventure begins on the road into Lassen Volcanic National Park. Don’t forget to stop and snap a selfie at the iconic national park sign!
A pair of optional trails await just ahead. Brokeoff Mountain Trail leads to a mountain vista, while Mill Creek Falls Trail takes you to the serene beauty of the park’s tallest waterfall. Then, visit the historic Sulfur Works and uncover their wild history.
The Diamond Peak Scenic Vista, next, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding volcanic peaks, and the Little Hot Springs Valley Overlook provides a panorama of the park’s geothermal activity.
Then there’s Emerald Lake and Lake Helen, with crystal-clear waters and stunning wilderness all around. And you won’t want to miss the bizarre story behind how Bumpass Trail got its name!
If you want to get up close and personal with the volcano, you’ll next arrive at Lassen Peak Trail, which leads right up to that soaring volcanic summit! Or, for an easier hike, stroll around the haunting Devastated Area Loop, which showcases the aftermath of Lassen’s last major eruption.
This self-guided driving tour of Lassen Volcanic National Park, California is the best way to experience this park on your own schedule. As long as that schedule doesn’t coincide with a scheduled eruption, of course!
