About Cinder Cone
Cinder Cone is a former cinder cone volcano in Lassen Volcanic National Park. The cone stands at a height of 750 feet above the surrounding area and spread ash over 30 square miles. 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 creating a rugged landscape all around. Cinder Cone also provides an excellent view of Brokeoff Mountain, Lassen Peak, and Chaos Crags. (Lassen Volcanic National Park, California, USA)
