General Description

Come witness a brief moment in the ancient battle between the earth shaping forces of creation and destruction. Nestled within Lassen\\''s peaceful mountain forests you will find that hissing fumaroles and boiling mud pots still shape and change the land.

On May 22, 1915, an explosive eruption at Lassen Peak, the southernmost active volcano in the Cascade Range, devastated nearby areas and rained volcanic ash as far away as 200 miles to the east. This explosion was the most powerful in a 1914-17 series of eruptions that were the last to occur in the Cascades before the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Lassen Peak is the largest of a group of more than 30 volcanic domes erupted over the past 300,000 years in Lassen Volcanic National Park.
