Above, Lassen Peak erupting on May 22, 1915. |
It was the last volcanic eruption in the Cascade Range of volcanoes in the Northwest U.S. until Mount St. Helens in Oregon erupted in 1980 (I have a small bottle of volcanic ash from that eruption).
In 1968, my parents and I camped at Mt. Lassen National Park. It is a beautiful area and we did some boating on the park's Manzanita Lake. The other thing I remember most about the park (besides the Bumpass Pass trail and the visitor center displays) was that it seemed to be overrun by the mule deer population.
