Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Lassen Volcanic tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“You're nearing Butte Lake, where blue water meets rough black lava. Stop for a picnic, a swim, or a paddle in a canoe or kayak; motorboats aren't allowed.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in Lassen Volcanic.
“You're approaching the Bumpass Hell trailhead, the starting point for Lassen's largest hydrothermal basin.”
Heads up Limited trailhead parking often fills around midday.
“Up ahead is the Lassen Peak parking area, where you can enjoy the mountain without taking on the summit hike. In nineteen fifteen, its biggest eruption sent ash about two hundred miles east.”
Heads up Steep, exposed climbing at high elevation
“You're coming up on Manzanita Lake, a good choice for an easy walk or a picnic with Lassen Peak across the water.”
Heads up The dirt shoreline path has exposed roots and stones.
+ 44 more stories across Lassen Volcanic: Painted Dunes, Devils Kitchen, Brokeoff Mountain, Mill Creek Falls, Little Hot Springs Valley Overlook, Diamond Peak Scenic Vista, Emerald Lake, Butte Lake and more.
