Culture

Discover the wonder and beauty of the one of a dramatic volcanic land from Oregon's Crater Lake National Park to California's Lassen Volcanic National Park.
Amid impressive scenery, you will enjoy charming towns, abundant wildlife, world-class birding, and extraordinary leisure, historical and cultural opportunities.
The southern end of the lane begins at California's Lake Almanor, just miles from the active geothermal features at Lassen Volcanic National Park.
The northern end of the byway is the capped by Crater Lake National Park in Oregon where mysteries of the earth's interior are deliberate.
Along the Byway you will see fantastic sites - the slopes of Mount Shasta jutting above the valley floor to the summit at 14,162 feet, curtains of water showering over basalt cliffs at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, and lands riddled with remains of subversive magma conduits at Lava Beds National Monuments.
