Sure, you could always chase waterfalls, but how about chasing some volcanoes?
Within Lassen Volcanic National Park, you’ll not only find one, but four different types of volcanoes: shield, plug dome, cinder cone and composite.
This 106,000-acre park ranges in elevations from 5,300 feet to over 10,000 feet at the top of Lassen Peak. This unlocks a ton of potential when it comes to exploring both incredible hydrothermal features, as well as snow-capped peaks, tumbling waterfalls and serene meadows.
Just a short 30-minute drive from the Chester and Lake Almanor area, the park is a great day trip.
