Lassen Peaks' May 1914 eruption launched three years of sporadic volcanic outburst. In the largest eruption on May 22, 1915, the peak blew a huge, mushroom-shaped clous of ask over 30,000 feet into the air. The eruption changed the landscape of the surrounding area. The Park was made a National Park in 1916 because of the eruption and the active volcanic landscape. The park is a valuable and natural hydrothermal study of the earth's volcanic landscapes.

Here are just a few of the wildflowers that grow within the Lassen Volcanic National Park. Brewer's Mountain Heather Crimsom Col...
