2009 08 20 CA, Lassen National Park - A Volcanic Park

We didn't know much about Lassen National Park when we decided to visit, but once there were we ever glad we did. It is a really neat place, dedicated a national park in 1915 following the eruption of Mt. Lassen. Eruptions continued over the next 3 years, and a hundred years later the photos below reveal how the park appears today.

We learned that Lassen is unique to other volcanic parks, as it contains 4 different types of volcanos.
