Lassen Volcanic National Park, tucked away in Eastern Shasta County, is a geothermal paradise where raw power from nature enthralls. Comprising seething mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and the unearthly Bumpass Hell, this park highlights the volcanic pulse of Earth. Rising above, dormant volcano Lassen Peak provides amazing climbs with panoramic views of pine forests and glittering lakes like Manzanita. Summer opens wildflower paths; winter turns it into a snowy paradise for skiers. Open year-round. Lassen invites adventurers to personally see its wild beauty just three hours from Sacramento, combining adventure with peace. You can see Lassen Peak from all corners of Shasta County.

Fun fact: When the summer temperatures get into the triple digits in the valley, us locals can usually escape to the “back-end” of Lassen and play in the lingering snow to cool down.
