Description
Lassen Volcanic National Park is easily one of Northern California's more note-worthy attractions, a protected area shaped in recent history by still-smoldering volcanoes. Hidden within Lassen’s peaceful forests and untrammeled wilderness find hissing fumaroles and boiling mud pots, evidence of this pretty spot's violent side.
