Alt Text Map of Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. This roughly square territory has stepped edges. The park is shown in soft green and the surrounding terrain in pearlescent white with shading for the topography. Extended Description Many of the park’s sites are along the Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway on the left half of the map. Therefore, this description will begin at the top left corner of the map and work down that half before moving to the right half. Along the Park Highway The Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway branches off State Route 44/89, which brushes by the northwest corner of the park. The area where the road enters the park is in a box showing the Manzanita Lake and Campgrounds near text reading “See enlarged area above.” The park highway passes Chaos Crags and Chaos Jumbles, which has a scenic viewpoint. Lava fields in Chaos Crags, represented as irregularly shaped areas in textured beige, are slightly south of these. The park highway continues to a hairpin curve before it turns southeast to pass the Volcano Adventure Youth Camp, Lost Creek Group Camp, and Hot Rock, then reaches the Devastated Area with a scenic viewpoint, interpretive trail, wheelchair access, and picnic area. Southeast of the Devastated Area are Summit Lake Trailhead, which has a ranger station; Summit Lake North with a picnic area and campground; and Summit Lake South with campgrounds and an amphitheater. These sites are about halfway down the height of the park. After passing Summit Lake South, the Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway turns southwest, where a note reads “Road closed in winter,” to pass the Kings Creek Trailhead. The road zigzags a bit as it turns west in this area to pass Kings Creek Picnic Area, which has a scenic viewpoint and wheelchair access, and Cold Boiling Lake, which sits in an orange-shaded hydrothermal area. The last quarter of the park highway passes Lassen Peak Trailhead with a scenic viewpoint; a picnic area; a hydrothermal area named Bumpass Hell, shaded in orange; Bumpass Trailhead with an interpretive trail and scenic viewpoint; Little Hot Springs Valley, another hydrothermal area; and Sulphur Works, a final hydrothermal area with wheelchair access, an interpretive trail, and scenic viewpoint. Lassen Peak (10,457 feet, 3,187 meters) is north of Lassen Peak Trailhead. The last few stops moving south on the park highway are the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center, which is open year-round and has an amphitheater, information, picnic area, interpretive trail, wheelchair access, and food service; Southwest (Walk-in) with campgrounds; an Entrance Station with information; and the Raker Memorial Gateway on the southern border of the park. Brokeoff Mountain (9,235 feet, 2,815 meters) is northwest of Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center. Eastern Half of the Park A road represented with a gray line enters the park at the top right corner. A note there reads, “Road closed in winter” before passing Butte Lake, which has a ranger station and campground, a boat launch and interpretive trail, and the Fantastic Lava Beds. Snag Lake is south of the lava beds. Sites along the bottom edge of the southeast quadrant include, from west to east, Devils Kitchen hydrothermal area, which is shaded red; Boiling Springs Lake and a surrounding hydrothermal area; and Terminal Geyser, also surrounded by a hydrothermal area. A road entering the park near here runs west past a ranger station, Warner Valley Trailhead, Warner Valley with a campground, and Drakesbad Guest Ranch. Another road closer to the southeast corner travels north to pass a ranger station, Juniper Lake with campgrounds, and an area with picnicking and a boat launch at its northern terminus. Trails make a network across the whole park. Peaks with elevations and distances between legs of the trails are labeled throughout. From north to south in the eastern half of the park, the peaks include Prospect Peak (8,338 feet, 2,541 meters) northwest of Fantastic Lava Bed and Flatiron Ridge, northeast of Drakesbad Guest Ranch. The Pacific Crest Trail winds from the southeast corner to cross the entire park and disappear off the top edge of the map. Numerous small lakes are dispersed throughout the park, with the majority of small lakes concentrated in the eastern region. South of the park, State Route 89 travels off the bottom edge of the map near a note reading “To Mineral and Park Headquarters, west on State Route 36.” Lassen National Forest completely surrounds the park. Lassen Volcanic Wilderness stretches across much of the park, and Caribou Wilderness lies east of the park boundary. Lassen National Forest surrounds the entire park in all directions. Legend The legend in the lower right corner of the map reads as follows: Yellow line and black semicircle for Pullout, Red area for Hydrothermal area. Red text reading, “Hydrothermal area safety.” Black text continues, “Traveling off-trail in hydrothermal areas is extremely dangerous. Stay on established trails and boardwalks.” Green dashed line for Pacific Crest Trail, Gray dashed line for Hiking trail, Thin triangle for Distance indicator, Gray solid line for Unpaved road, and Two columns of symbols represent Information site, Ranger station, Picnic area, Interpretive trail, Wheelchair-accessible, Sanitary disposal station, Showers, Food service, Gasoline, Campground, Primitive campground, Boat launch, Amphitheater, and Scenic viewpoint.
