Lassen National Park (CA)
   
Lassen National Park is the caldera of ancestral Mt. Tehama, the most southern volcano of the Cascade Range that collapsed about 600,000 years ago. Because the caldera was breached, no lake developed as did Crater Lake in Oregon. Because of its special location on the south end of the Cascades and before the Sierra Nevada starts in the south, the park has a much larger variety of plant species than adjacent regions.
