• Bumpass Hell
  

  
  Bumpass Hell is the largest geothermal area in the park and features boiling pools, mudpots and roaring fumaroles seen from a wooden boardwalk. It can be reached via a 3-mile hiking trail. The elevation of the trail is around 8,000 feet (2,400 m) so care should be taken if you are not used to high altitudes. The trail is buried under snow until late spring, sometimes till mid-summer
  
  

• Boiling Springs Lake
  

  
  Just northwest of Terminal Geyser, large, warm-water Boiling Springs Lake has many hot springs, mudpots, and fumaroles along its west shore. Unlike the more heavily visited areas of the park, this area is not developed with boardwalks or signs and offers a chance to view thermal features in a more natural setting.
  
  

• Lassen Peak
  

  
  The high mountain pass of Highway 89 allows easy access to the summit of Lassen Peak (10,450 ft / 3,200 m), one of the largest lava domes on Earth. The 2.5 mile (4 km) trail with a climb of about 2,000 feet (610 m) to the summit begins from a parking lot on the highway.
  
  

• Cinder Cone Volcano, Painted Dunes and Fantastic Lava Bed
  

  
  Cinder Cone is a cinder cone volcano surrounded by the Fantastic Lava Beds and the colorful Painted Dunes. It offers an excellent view of Brokeoff Mountain, Lassen Peak, and Chaos Crags. It is best accessed via an easy 5 mi trail
  
  

• Devastated Area
  

  
  This area was located in the path of the pyroclastic flow from Lassen's eruption. All of the vegetation in the area was destroyed by hurricane force winds and burning hot gasses and mud. Since the eruption, the area is regrowing but there is still ample evidence of the destruction.
  
  

• The Main Park Road
  

  
  The Main Park Road provides spectacular views of the Cascade and High Sierra Mountains. The road has direct access to high altitude mountain lakes, active hydrothermal areas, numerous hiking trails, and grand views of Lassen Peak, Brokeoff Mountain, and the Devastated Area. It is usually closed late October through mid-June.
  
  

• Lava Subway Cave
  

  
  Subway Cave was created when large amounts of lava were flowing across the area. The lava on top, exposed to the air, cooled and formed a hard cap while molten lava continued to flow beneath. Eventually, the molten lava drained away but the hollow tubes remained.
  
  

• Kayaking
  

  
  Whether kayaking or canoeing, exploring Lassen Volcanic National Park can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Non-motorized boats must access Manzanita, Butte, and Juniper Lakes at their designated boat launch areas.
