Lassen Volcanic National Park, Sulphur Works

The Sulphur Works area of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The bubbling pool is located on side of the road, on the other side is sloping cliff face with steam vents and areas of yellowish Sulphur deposits. There is also a stream with bluish colored water flowing in it.

Boiling water, boiling mud pots, sulphur smells, and snow in May, 2012. Road was closed past this point because of snow and road clearing.

Geothermal Areas in Lassen Volcanic National Park / Sulfur Works

Several groups of hot springs and fumaroles, remnants of former volcanic activity, exist in Lassen Volcanic National Park. Most of these lie in or are closely adjacent to Mount Tehama's caldera. Bumpass Hell is the most spectacular of these, but others of importance are Sulphur Works, Little Hot Springs Valley, Boiling Springs Lake and Devil's Kitchen. In each thermal area, the highest temperature of water generally is close to the boiling temperature at the altitude of the particular spring or fumarole—198 °F (92 °C) at Bumpass Hell and 191 °F (88 °C) on the northwest flanks of Lassen Peak.Temperatures as high as 230 °F (110 °C) have been recorded in the park.

Spring activity varies with water supply. Abundant water results in clear springs during early summer, but as the season progresses and the water supply decreases, springs change successively to turbid, warm pools, spattering mudpots, and finally steaming fumaroles. There are no true geysers within Lassen Volcanic National Park.

Gases from hot springs are composed mostly of steam and carbon dioxide, with minor amounts of other gases. These react with the rocks around the springs to ultimately form opal if temperature and acidity are high, and kaolin if they are low. Deposits of sulfur, iron pyrite (fool's gold), quartz and other substances are also found around the springs and in their runoff channels.

Solfataric alternation within the caldera of Mount Tehama covers about five square miles, much more extensive than the present hot springs basins—indicative of its former extent, and suggestive of its waning activity. It is the altered materials in the caldera which yielded most readily to the forces of erosion. Diamond Peak is a body of unaltered rock.

This is the Sulphur Works area of Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. Interesting Park.

Sulfur Works -- Lassen Volcanic National Park (California) 06-27-16

Gurgling, burbling, boiling, roiling Sulfur Works at Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California... This is RIGHT BY the road (Hwy. 89). The last series of eruptions in the park was from 1914-1921, but this is one of the evidences of continuing thermal activity in the area.

Lassen Volcanic National Park | California Travel Tips

Veronica Hill of California Travel Tips offers a guide to Lassen Volcanic National Park. Located about 50 miles from Redding in Northern California, Lassen National Park is named for Lassen Peak, which is the largest plug dome volcano in the world.

The last Lassen eruptions were between 1914 and 1921, and it remains, along with nearby Mt. Shasta, the most likely volcano in the Cascades to erupt in the next few decades.

They say this is the least visited of our national parks, and I find it really hard to believe because there's so much to do here!

Most of the Lassen National Park attractions are located along Highway 89, which circles around the park. All four types of volcanoes are found here, including shield, plug dome, cinder cone and composite varieties.

Start your Lassen tour at Loomis Museum, where you can check out historic displays of Lassen's 1915 eruption, then take the short 1-mile walk along the Lily Pond Nature Trail.

From the southwest entrance, begin at Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center, where you can grab a bite to eat at Lassen Cafe — the only restaurant in Lassen National Park — or stock up on water or picnic fare.

If you're looking for Lassen National Park lodging, Manzanita Lake is a great spot to go camping. Bring a tent or RV, or rent one of their cozy wooden Manzanita Lake cabins which start at $59 per night. The lake is a great spot for catch-and-release trout fishing, and they also offer kayak rentals!

There are several places to go hiking in Lassen National Park. The Devastated Area Trail is a 1/2-mile loop that showcases evidence of the 1915 eruption. Plan on around 20 minutes to explore the paved interpretive trail, which is where much of the lava and hot rocks settled after the eruptions. Along the trail you'll see Hot Rock, a 27,000-year-old boulder that was blasted 3 miles from Lassen Peak; and Puzzled Rocks, which were torn from Lassen's Summit.

Two miles away, you'll find Summit Lake, which is a great place to stop midday for a swim or a picnic. There are two campgrounds here as well!

Continuing along Highway 89, you'll come to Kings Creek Falls before arriving at Upper Meadow, which is a great place to stop and stretch your legs.

Be sure to pack a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water and snacks before attempting the strenuous 5-mile round-trip hike to Lassen Peak, which sits at 10,457 feet. To avoid the heat, start early in the morning, or come during the cooler fall months.

While you're in Lassen, you have to do the Bumpass Hell Trail. It's three miles round trip and it's the signature hike in the park. Set alongside glacial Lake Helen, this 16-acre hydrothermal area sits on the eroded vent of Bumpass Mountain, a dormant dome volcano. Here, you'll find more than 75 fumaroles, turquoise-colored hot springs and mud pots fired by molten lava just 5 miles below the surface.

This area was named for Kendall Bumpass, who lost his leg after falling into a boiling mud pot. Bumpass discovered the area in 1864 while hiking, and he called the place Hell. The name stuck.

Boiling pool is one of many unique features in the park. Although the temperatures of these hot spring pools vary, most fall between 150 and 200 degrees. A highlight is Big Boiler, which is the largest fumarole in the park, and the hottest in the world for a non-erupting volcano.

If you're not up for the 3-mile hike, another great place to see volcanic activity is at Sulphur Works, which sits right off the highway near the southwest entrance.

One word of advice: Stay on the boardwalks and trails. People are severely burned each year when they ignore this caution.

Thanks for joining us at Lassen Volcanic National Park. See you next time!

Sulphur Works, Lassen Volcanic National Park

One of Lassen Volcanic National Park's most interesting - and - smelly - features. Taken during Labor Day Weekend 2016.

Aug 2019 - Lassen Volcanic National Park, CA - Sulphur Works

The heat and smell of sulphur standing right next to the boiling mud is very impressive.

[360°/VR Video] Walking thru Sulphur Works at Lassen Volcanic National Park

Located in Northern California. We stopped by to see Lassen Volcanic Park while we were visiting Redding, CA. We really wanted to check out the hot springs (or Sulphur Works) so we actually drove around Lassen because Highway 89 was closed off due to the snow. The extra drive was worth it. Just check out what we saw.

This was shot early June 2019.

California 101: Lassen Volcanic National Park

Home to all four types of volcanoes, Lassen Volcanic National Park is positively alive with bubbles, steams, and roars. We show you how to kayak on Manzanita Lake, see mudpots at Sulphur Works, catch a steam at Devil’s Kitchen, climb Cinder Cone, and stay at Drakesbad Guest Ranch.
