Ascending Past Difficulties Around Me with a View to Brokeoff Mountain (Lassen Volcanic National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: At a roadside pullout location in Lassen Volcanic National Park with a view looking to the west while taking in the setting of ridges and peaks in this part of the national park. From this overlook, I had a more or less unobstructed view of Brokeoff Mountain. I decided to zoom in with a focal length so that I could have much of the mountainside fill the image, while centering the peak in the upper portion. The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 8 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

On (or from) the (very easy!) Bumpass Hell trail, Lassen Volcanic National Park, California (August 2023). That's Brokeoff Mountain up there on the left; it's a nice hike from a different trailhead, with a great view of Lassen and everything for miles around…

Explore the Rugged Beauty of Lassen Volcanic National Park in California

by Paige Guscott Discover the breathtaking wonders of Lassen Volcanic National Park, where rugged landscapes and awe-inspiring volcanic formations await. Experience the beauty of California's hidden gem today! Plan your adventure now..... History of the Lassen Volcanic National Park, California Lassen Volcanic National Park California is an area that boasts a rich history of geological history and cultural significance. Nestled in northeastern California, the park spans over 106,000 acres and is home to a dramatic range of volcanic features. The park has been extensively researched and mapped by the United States Geological Survey, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of the park's geology and its ever-changing landscape. In 1916, Lassen Peak erupted, reminding the world of the power of a volcanic eruption. Just two years later, in 1918, it was brought under the protection of the National Park Service to protect its unique geological features. The allure of Lassen Volcanic National Park California's rugged beauty draws people from all over the globe. On average each year, around 500,000 visitors come to the park, wanting to explore its roughly 166 square miles of land. The Park's Location Lassen Volcanic National Park sits in Northern California, not far from the Oregon border. Located just above northwest Plumas County, it's positioned at the southern terminus of the Cascade Range, a region renowned for its chain of volcanoes stretching up to Canada. The park's coordinates place it about 50 miles east of the city of Redding, making it accessible for those seeking an escape into nature. Indigenous History in the Park Long before it became a hub for tourists, Lassen Volcanic National Park California was home to several Indigenous groups including the Atsugewi, Yana, Yahi, and Maidu. They understood the ebbs and flows of the earth and revered Lassen Peak, which they knew as "Amblu Kai" (Mountain on Fire) or "Kohm Yah-mah-nee" (Snow Mountain). Their deep connection with the region is evident through archaeological sites scattered throughout the park, which offer a glimpse into their rich heritage and remind us of the enduring legacy these cultures have left behind. Geological Wonders of Lassen Volcanic National Park California Types of Volcanoes in the Park Photo by 12019 on Pixabay Lassen Volcanic National Park California is distinctive for having all four types of volcanoes found in the world. The striking Lassen Peak is a plug dome volcano, known for viscous lava that piles up around a volcanic vent. In contrast, the gentler slopes of shield volcanoes, like Prospect Peak, are built by flowing lava that travels farther from the source. Cinder cone volcanoes, such as Cinder Cone itself, rise sharply from the earth, the result of explosive eruptions that hurl lava fragments into the air. Lastly, Brokeoff Volcano exemplifies a composite volcano, created from layers of hardened lava and tephra—a testament to a varied eruption history. Other Unique Geological Formations Apart from the volcanoes themselves, the park is a showcase of geothermal features that hint at the ongoing volcanic activity beneath the surface. Bubbling mud pots, hissing fumaroles, and boiling hot springs are scattered across the landscape. Sulphur Works and Bumpass Hell are two of these hydrothermal areas where visitors can see the Earth's heat at work. These formations not only contribute to the park's unique topography but also serve as natural laboratories for studying Earth's geologic processes. Flora and Fauna in the Park The volcanic soil and varied landscapes of Lassen Volcanic National Park California foster a remarkable ecosystem teeming with life. Over 700 plant species make their home here, including the mountain hemlock and red fir, which stand as proud sentinels over the landscape. The park's range in elevation, from about 5,300 to over 10,400 feet, creates a variety of habitats for wildlife. Black-tailed deer, marmots, and even elusive mountain lions roam freely, while the skies are crisscrossed by over 200 bird species, including the Clark's nutcracker and the pileated woodpecker. Extreme Organisms The park's geology is not just a spectacle for visitors; it's a foundation for life. Volcanic activity has enriched the soil with minerals, fostering lush plant growth that, in turn, supports a diverse animal population. Hydrothermal areas, though harsh, are not devoid of life. Extremophile microorganisms thrive in boiling hot springs, proving that life adapts in the most extraordinary ways. These tiny creatures are fundamental to the park’s ecosystem, providing nutrients for other forms of life and demonstrating the resilience of nature. Rare and Endemic Species Some species in Lassen are found nowhere else on Earth. One such treasure is the Lassen Peak chipmunk, whose entire existence is confined to the high-altitude part of the park. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these endemic species, many of which are sensitive to changes in their habitat. The park staff works tirelessly to monitor populations and habitats, ensuring that future generations can continue to experience the park’s unique biodiversity..... Read More...

Comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2 setting over Brokeoff Mountain in January of 2015. This image is also in one of my calendars for sale here: https://www.createphotocalendars.com/Shop/corypoolephotography

I thought it would be interesting to share a picture of Brokeoff mountain so you could see where I was taking the last picture I posted from. It's the eroded remains of an old stratovolcano and so it is really steep on 3 sides. The trail is actually fairly gentle considering though it's still a good workout. I took this picture after spending a few days planning it. I knew that the line up was almost perfect for watching it set down along the steep line of the mountain. Still, I was very happy that it worked exactly like planned. It was a good night with a snowshoe hike both out and in. This time my brother came along and we got to see some amazing stars and the comet was barely visible by eye as it set. It was quite a bit fainter than Neowise this year but still beautiful. Hope you enjoy the view!

Upcoming Lunar Eclipse visible for half the planet in just a few days.

Lunar Eclipse over Brokeoff Mountain.

This was the a total lunar eclipse from the last day of January 2018. It was the first lunar eclipse I had an opportunity to photography since a tetrad of eclipses had taken place a few years earlier in North America. I wanted to get something different from pictures of eclipses I had taken before and so I searched for a long time to get a place where it would be setting over an interesting background. In the end I decided to return to a place that I watched a comet set over the mountain in early 2015 with my brother since it is such a gorgeous place especially when covered in the snow. I also liked that I should be able to give it a different feel than the comet image because of the color of the eclipsed moon. I snowshoe hiked in about 2 miles and enjoyed the extreme peace and quiet as I waited for the eclipsed moon to set. I was pleasantly surprised to see the faintest of clouds lit up by the light of the red moon and to be able to see so many stars clearly on my view screen. While it was faint by eye a long exposure really makes it pop!

The Eclipsed Moon looked gorgeous over Brokeoff Mountain in Lassen Volcanic National Park this morning. [OC][3000x2201]

Photographing Nature in Lassen Volcanic National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views down a mountainside with ridges and peaks present in this part of Lassen Volcanic National Park. This was while hiking back down the Lassen Peak Trail. Some of the more easily identified landmarks I could note are the main park road as it weaved throughout this northern California setting, Lake Helen in the left of center, and Brokeoff Mountain in the upper right portion of the image. I later read in a national park exhibit how Brokeoff Mountain was part of an original mountain (Mount Tehama) before eruptions had happened several hundred thousand years prior.
