If you do only one trail at Lassen, Bumpass Hell is the must do trail.
Can you handle 2000 feet of elevation gain in less than 2 miles at altitude of 10,000 feet?
Lassen has the largest hydrothermal area in the US outside of Yellowstone.
A pretty hike to a 30 foot waterfall.
Boulders from collapsed crater rolls down the hill at 100 mph, destroying everything in the way.
Pristine, colorful mountain lakes. Swim in its cold water if you dare.
It takes until late June or July for the main park road to open all the way. Plan accordingly.
Excellent hike around the lake with great views of Lassen Peak and wonderful fishing
