Lassen Volcanic National Park is a land of steaming fumaroles, meadows of wildflowers, clear mountain lakes and numerous volcanoes, where hot water still shapes the ground. A 3-mile round-trip trail leads to Bumpass Hell, the largest of its hydrothermal areas, and more than 150 miles of trails run through the park. With over 30 feet of snow a year, winter brings its own ways to explore the park.
