Stop 16. Lassen Crossroads An open-air pavilion to the east highlights the diverse features of the Lassen region, comprised of Lassen Volcanic National Park and Lassen National Forest. Although managed by two separate federal agencies serving different missions, this region provides a wide variety of opportunities for discovery and recreation. In Lassen National Forest, you can wander through a lava tube at Subway Cave and cast a line in some of northern California’s finest trout waters. You can also visit the Hat Creek Radio Observatory, where astronomers use radio telescopes to study the heavens and even search for intelligent life beyond earth. Within the park, visitors can experience the sulfurous smell of one of seven bubbling hydrothermal areas, climb to the summit of iconic Lassen Peak, or birdwatch at one of the park’s numerous meadows or lakes. You can learn more about the recreational opportunities as well as the history and natural features of the Lassen region through the panels in the Crossroads Information Pavilion.
