Explore Lassen Volcanic National Park’s beauty and history with a self-guided audio tour. Discover geothermal wonders, serene lakes, and stunning landscapes.
- Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway - As we drive through Lassen Volcanic National Park, we’re climbing along the pine-covered slopes of Mount Lassen itself.
NOTE: This 30+ mile-long tour covers the Lassen Volcanic National Park in 3 hour.
-
Brokeoff Mountain trailhead - This trail is a beautiful 7-mile out-and-back hike that climbs through forests of red firs and meadows of wildflowers before reaching above the timberline.
-
Mill Creek Falls Trailhead - The trail is a moderately strenuous four mile round trip, and should take about three hours. It leads to a stunning 75-foot waterfall!
-
Sulphur Works - The trail for Ridge Lakes is a challenging two-mile hike that takes around an hour and a half. This steep trail features some stunning glacial lakes.
-
Diamond Peak Scenic Vista - I highly recommend stopping here. It features incredible views of those glacier-carved valleys I mentioned earlier, plus a must-see view of Mount Lassen’s peak.
-
Little Hot Springs Valley Overlook - This valley is full of—you guessed it!—little hot springs. But you won’t see geysers and mud pots here. Instead, you’re likely to see volcanic steam wafting up from between the trees like terrible-smelling campfire smoke.
-
Bumpass Trailhead - Bumpass Hell is one of Lassen’s most unique sights, with an incredible stretch of steam vents, mud pots, and sky blue hot springs surrounded by orange soil.
-
Lassen Peak Trailhead - This challenging five-mile hike up Mt. Lassen takes around four hours, but features amazing panoramic views of the park for dedicated hikers.
-
Kings Creek Trailhead - Kings Creek is one of Lassen’s shorter hikes, at around 2.5 miles. It’s a moderate trail and takes two hours to hike. It follows the creek down through Kings Creek Upper Meadow, where dozens of varieties of wildflowers grow, from the beautifully-named alpine shooting star to the slightly less beautifully-named wandering fleabane.
-
Devastated Area Loop Trail - This easy half-mile loop takes visitors through the area that was wiped out by Lassen’s eruptions over a century ago.
-
Manzanita Lake - If you want to immerse yourself in lush forests and lakes, these are the trails for you. If you just want something quick, the Reflection Lake trail is only half a mile, while the Manzanita trail is two miles and will take around an hour.
