Brokeoff Mt is the second highest point in the Lassen Volcanic National Park. It sees year-round activity because of it’s easy access from Highway 89. The round trip from the trailhead (approximately 6,600’) to the summit (9,235ft / 2814m) is 7 miles on the summer trail, and about 6 miles during the winter with a direct snow approach. The southern slopes offer excellent ski and snowboard descents all the way to the car on moderately steep pitches. Views from the summit are of Mt Shasta to the north and Mt Lassen to the northeast.
Brokeoff Mt is the furthest west mountain in the park and is adjacent to the parks Southwest entrance. It is three miles southwest of Lassen, and connected to it via a ridgeline. This ridge linking Brokeoff and Lassen includes Mt Diller, Pilot Pinnacle, Ski Heil Peak and Eagle Peak. It is possible to make a ridgeline traverse linking Brokeoff to Lassen. This traverse would involve a few technical sections.
Brokeoff Mt is one of the last remaining remnants of a large volcano called Mt Tehama that was at it’s maximum height and girth around 300,000 years ago. Mt Tehama was a stratovolcano that was about 11,000’ and similar in size and shape to Oregon’s Mt Hood. Because of it’s existence during the Ice Age, Mt Tehama was heavily carved away by massive glaciers which left only fragments from Brokeoff Mt to Mt Conard to the east and Mt Diller to the north. The glaciers left Brokeoff with an impressive vertical north face with an appearance that half of the mountain ‘broke off’.
