Lassen Peak, Plug dome volcano in Shasta County, United States.
Located at the southern edge of the Cascade Range, Lassen Peak stands at 3,189 meters with steep slopes composed of dacite rock formations.
Between 1914 and 1917, the volcano produced substantial lateral explosions that transformed the surrounding terrain and created the Devastated Area valley.
Several Native American tribes consider Lassen Peak a central location in their spiritual beliefs, connecting it to ancestral traditions and ceremonies.
The mountain trails remain covered in snow from October through June, requiring winter equipment and advanced preparation for summit attempts.
The peak contains active fumaroles releasing steam and volcanic gases, indicating ongoing geological processes beneath the surface.
