Lassen Volcanic National Park

From 1914 to early 1915, Lassen spewed steam and ashes in more than 150 eruptions. On May 19, 1915, the mountaintop exploded. A 20-foot-high wall of mud, ash, and melted snow roared down the mountain, snapping tree trunks. Three days later, a huge mass of ashes and gases shot out of the volcano, devastating a swath a mile wide and three miles long. Since 1921 Lassen Peak has remained quiet, but it is still considered an active volcano.
