Lake Helen is a glacial tarn situated at approximately 8,200 feet in Lassen Volcanic National Park, in Northern California. Located south of Lassen Peak and west of Bumpass Mountain, the lake lies along Highway 89 and is visible from the road. Named after Helen Tanner Brodt, the first white woman to summit Lassen Peak in 1864, it remains frozen and snow-covered for most of the year due to its high elevation.

Lassen Peak, or Mount Lassen, is a 10,457-foot lava dome volcano and highest peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. It is the southernmost active volcano in the Cascade Range of the Western United States. This is a steep, challenging climb from the parking lot at roughly 8,450 feet with fantastic panoramic views from the summit. Please be aware that this is still an active volcano so before you set out, be sure to check in with park officials!

Here see a view of Brokeoff Mountain, the remnant of an extinct volcano and the second-tallest peak in the park.

The park's most easily accessible hydrothermal area, located via a paved path immediately alongside a road. More information here: https://www.nps.gov/places/sulphurworks.htm

The tallest remaining portion of the eroded andesitic stratovolcano, Mount Tehama, Brokeoff Mountain has the second-highest elevation in the park, behind Lassen Peak, which is connected to Brokeoff Mountain, geologically, and can be seen from the summit.

Mount Lassen in Lassen Volcanic National Park is the southernmost active volcano in the Cascade Range that stretches from Northern California all the way up to British Columbia in Canada. The 10,457 feet lava dome volcano offers a stunning view over the National Park which was severely damaged by the Dixie Wildfire in 2021 and over to the snow-capped Mount Shasta, the closest volcano of the Cascades.

You don't need to go all the way to Yellowstone National Park to see stunning geothermal activity. Bumpass Hell is boiling and steaming with tiny blue ponds and milky streams: Acid Lake got its name for a reason! So enjoy the steaming, boiling water from a respectable distance and don't get too close.

If you arrive here with a car, you have to pay 10 Dollars as entrance fee. Hikers can walk in for free. Burney Falls is a side Trip that is so worth the short walk, especially on a hot summer day. There is also a general store with snacks and ice cream, restrooms, drinking fountains and a visitor center with WiFi. If you can, avoid the crowds around the weekends.
