You should really get to Lassen someday. It’s beautiful.
It’s not a dead volcano, and it’s not a live volcano.
It’s a DORMANT volcano.
Lotsa steam and icky smells coming out the top.
Ever been to Lava Beds National Monument/Park?
There’s some really cool cinder cones there, besides the really cool lava tubes.
It’s also the site of the last heathen indian resistance in America. After that, the frontier was officially closed.
Our original plan was the entire volcanic scenic byway, but most of Lassen is still buried, including Bumpass Hell and Lassen Peak. We’re still planning on seeing lava beds and plutos cave, though. Then onto Crater Lake. .
