8K VR180: Lassen Volcanic National Park: Lassen Peak and Cinder Cone

From the shore of Manzanita Lake, the snow-capped summit of Lassen Peak reflects beautifully in the warm afternoon light across the water.

The adventure to Cinder Cone is a truly unique experience. While the steep path to the top is strenuous, the reward is massive: a panoramic view overlooking the colorful Painted Dunes, two brilliant blue lakes, the majestic snow-capped Lassen Peak, vast lava beds, and the deep volcanic crater right at the summit.
