Lassen Volcanic NP

Nestled within Lassen’s peaceful mountain forests you will find that hissing fumaroles and boiling mud pots still shape and change the land.

Highway 89 through Lassen Volcanic National Park is open! Many trails at higher elevations are still snow-covered and the Bumpass Hell Trail remains closed. Prepare for winter conditions if you plan to hike. https://t.co/00IPlDQG7y

Weather in October and November may cause the park road to close temporarily due to snow. Alerts may not be updated in a timely manner due to the lapse in appropriations. Please check local weather forecasts and plan accordingly when considering a trip to Lassen in the fall.

Even with the recent snowstorms, spring is still around the corner! Manzanita Lake and Reflection Lake have begun to thaw - ice thickness will vary across the surface. When exploring, stay on the shoreline and avoid walking on lake ice. Stay safe and have fun!

We are celebrating #Snow!

The March snow survey concluded with 15 feet of snow at the foot of Lassen Peak. If all that snow melted in an instant, it would create a pool of water 7 feet deep! https://t.co/dfmbjrOrf8.
