About Lassen Volcanic National Park
Lassen Volcanic National Park in northeastern California is one of the few places in the world where all four types of volcanoes -- shield, plug dome, cinder cone, and composite -- can be found. The park features the dramatic Lassen Peak, bubbling hydrothermal areas like Bumpass Hell, pristine alpine lakes, and wildflower-filled meadows surrounded by dense conifer forests.
