    Hiking

    The PCT crosses this parking lot. From this view point you can see Mount Lassen to your left and majestic Mount Shasta to your right. From here, the PCT continues along the rim (northbound) with very few shade and a water source that is hard to get to. So carry plenty of water, it might be very hot.
    Scenic vista terrace built out on the edge of the volcanic rim, with a large day-use picnic area and restrooms accessible via a paved spur from Highway 44. The gate might be closed after sunset or during fire season when the outlook is used by fire fighters, as was the case during the September 2020 forest fire period.
