	Lassen Volcanic National Park
		Lassen Volcanic National Park, located in north central California at the southern end of the Cascade mountain range, is the only national park containing a volcano which has erupted in the twentieth century.
		The eruptions, which began in 1914 and were photographed by photographer B.F. Loomis, made Lassen a national sensation--the U.S.'s only active volcano, and the subsequent attention spurred acceptance of the area as a national park.
		Lassen Peak is a stratovolcano--a volcano which is composed of alternate layers of lava and volcanic ash.

		Lassen National Park is 200 miles from San Francisco, and is part of a sparsely-populated hilly area north of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
		Lassen is one of the most unusual places in California, and one of my favourite National Parks, and yet is relatively little visited, partly because it is a long way from most other famous natural attractions in the state.

		Cinder Cone in Lassen Volcanic National Park is a 214 meter (700 feet) high volcanic cone, created around 1650.
		The Lassen volcanic center consists of the ancient Brokeoff (or Mount Tehama) stratovolcano, a 6-km-wide caldera largely filled by a dacitic lava dome field, and peripheral small andesitic shield volcanoes and pyroclastic cones.

	19 May 1915 Eruption of Lassen Peak
		We are extremely grateful of the National Park Service at Lassen Volcanic National Park, in particular to Chief Naturalist Richard Vance and Assistant Chief Naturalist Ellis Richard for their assistance in the conduct of this project, and to Diana Michna for her assistance in sample preparation.
		For this work, a volcanic blast is defined as the effect of a violent eruption that causes significant destruction to the area surrounding the volcanic edifice, with an inferred significant radial component to the forces associated with the event.
		The existence of a deposit with many of the characteristics of those formed by volcanic blasts, including charred organic material, and the planimetric distribution of the effects of the eruption are the strongest evidence for a volcanic blast on the night of 19 May. The cause of the blast is, however, problematic.

	Lassen Volcanic National Park - Nature & Science
		The myriad habitats of Lassen Volcanic National Park are produced by variations in environmental conditions such as elevation (5,000 to 10,457 feet), moisture (precipitation is greater on the western than the eastern side of the park), substrate (rock type and soil depth), temperature, insolation (amount of sun) and prior disturbance (both natural and human-caused).
		Situated at the southern end of the Cascade Range geologic province, Lassen Volcanic National Park lies at the crossroads of three great biological provinces: the Cascades range to the north, the Sierra Nevada mountains to the south and the Great Basin desert to the east.
		Although Lassen is primarily known for its volcanic geology, the park boasts a rich diversity of plant and animal life.

	“Hot Water” in Lassen Volcanic National Park— Fumaroles, Steaming Ground, and Boiling Mudpots USGS Volcano Hazards Fact Sheet
		The steam features within Lassen Volcanic National Park are directly related to the hot springs and thermal waters that discharge outside of the south park boundary.
		To protect visitors and also to understand the origin and evolution of such features, National Park Service (NPS) personnel and scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) continuously monitor the physical and chemical characteristics of surface hydrothermal activity in Lassen Volcanic National Park.
		The Lassen volcanic center is host to such a system because it has the three required elements—abundant ground water, permeable rock, and a heat source at depth.

		Mount Lassen, which last erupted in 1914-15, is the southernmost of seventeen currently dormant volcanoes in the Cascade Range that includes Mount Rainier, Mount St.
		Although the cinder cone at Capulin National Monument in New Mexico is much larger, I like this one better due to its symmetry and the stark black ground that is almost barren except for a few trees.
		The two craters are evidence of two separate eruptions and scientists have determined that the cinder cone was formed as a result of five separate eruptions.

		we were going to take the kings creek falls trail, and the cinder cone trail, but after talking to the nice park ranger at the information station right inside the south entrance, we found out that there was some sort of accident on the road to the cinder cone trail.

	Lassen Peak
		The Lassen Peak Trail parking area is a huge lot, and I was the only car there.
		Lassen itself is very steep -- much steeper than 15% -- and the easily switchbacked trail tames the mountain.
		Eventually, I decided it must be a small rockfall (it was very steep on that face), and not the volcanic grumblings of the mountain.

		Located in the northern region of California the park encompasses large areas of a once active volcanic zone where erosion still has not had its full impact and volcanic rocks are visible everywhere and more interestingly undergrond lava tubes can be accessed easily.
		As a final note: a climb up Mt. Lassen is well worth the effort since the views present a beautiful mosaic of barren lava rock, pristine forests, and emerald blue lakes.

	A perfect time to take trek in snow on Mt. Lassen
		At Yosemite National Park, the snow line is roughly 9,500 to 10,000 feet (about 9,000 in shaded, forested spots), 1,500 feet higher than the park's highest-elevation campground, Tuolumne Meadows at 8,600 feet.
		Along with the Lassen Peak Trail, it is one of two world-class hikes in the park.
		It's only 1.5 miles to reach the thermal area, but after parking at the trailhead (8,200 feet), the first mile is a 500-foot climb, and it's been blocked by snow until this past week.
