Fun Facts

The trail is located in Lassen Volcanic National Park, where you can witness the aftermath of the 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak, which dramatically altered the landscape.

Along the trail, interpretive signs provide information about the volcanic rocks and the forces that shaped the area.

The Devastated Area Loop Trail is a relatively easy 0.5-mile loop, making it suitable for families and casual hikers.

The trail features fascinating volcanic rock formations, including large boulders that were ejected during the eruption.

While the trail is accessible throughout the year, snow can cover the path in winter, requiring snowshoes or skis for access.
