The park is home to steaming fumaroles, alpine meadows freckled with wildflowers, clear mountain lakes, and numerous volcanoes. According to the national park service all four types of volcanoes are represented in the park. These include  shield (Prospect Peak), plug dome (Lassen Peak), Cinder Cone (Cinder Cone), and Composite (Brokeoff Volcano) volcanoes.

Flowers abound


Flowers attract butterflies

Sulfurous fumaroles leave residue
Fires add haze


There is snow the year around
