Lassen Volcanic National Park. Sept 3 - 6, 2004.

(top, down) This continues our Monday morning driving tour.

Mt. Lassen view from Lost Ck

(top, down) Lost Ck is near Hot Rock (see map), so this view is from directly north of Lassen Peak (elevation 10457 feet), the highest peak in the park and the largest plug-dome volcano in the world.

Mt. Lassen view from the south

(top, down) The park road reaches its summit at 8500 feet near here, so flowers that have finished blooming at lower elevations are still blooming up here.
