Devlis Kitchen IIThis is in the opposite direction as the other photo I posted. It was such a rewarding 3 mile hike. My girlfriend and I didn't spend too much time as a huge thunderstorm was headed our way. This park is located in Northern California and all four types of volcanoes found in the entire world are represented in Lassen Volcanic National Park. Volcanoes found in the park include shield (Prospect Peak), plug dome (Lassen Peak), Cinder Cone (Cinder Cone), and Composite (Brokeoff Volcano) volcanoes.
Uploaded on Aug 18, 2009 Cinder Cone - Lassen Volcanic National ParkThe cone was built to a height of 750 feet (230 m) above the surrounding area and spread ash over 30 square miles (78 km2). Then, like many cinder cones, it was snuffed out when several basalt lava flows erupted from its base. These flows, called the Fantastic Lava Beds, spread northeast and southwest, and dammed creeks, first creating Snag Lake on the south and then Butte Lake to the north. Butte Lake is fed by water from Snag Lake seeping through the lava beds.

Uploaded on Aug 18, 2009 Warner Valley StormAt this point my girlfriend and I were traveling back from Devil's Kitchen. As you could see, there were a few systems passing through. This is facing a North West direction, directly over our campsite. When we got back, our neighbors in the other campsite told us about a major hail storm which soaked our campground at Juniper Lake. We ended up relocating our tent in an effort to stay dry for the last night.
