With Labor Day behind us, this is an excellent time to check out Cinder Cone in the eastern portion of Lassen Volcanic National Park. After all the temperatures are bit cooler, and you want to take this into consideration whether to hike just to the base of Cinder Cone, or take the trail to the top. Both options are good choices.
Were you aware that at Lassen Park, is one of the few places in the world where all four types of volcano can be found—plug dome, shield, stratovolcano and of course cinder cone. From various scientific evidence, it was determined that the last time Cinder Cone erupted was in 1666.
