Butte Creek Dispersed — Lassen NF (Cinder Cone)

Description

This Lassen National Forest pullout sits alongside Butte Creek in the volcanic high country east of Lassen Volcanic National Park, within easy reach of the Cinder Cone trailhead. The spur off the main forest road is level enough for campervans and larger rigs, and the creekside setting — black lava sand banks and all — gives the spot a distinct northern Sierra character. No cell signal reaches here, but a gap in the tree canopy makes satellite connectivity workable; a fire ring is present, though burn permits are required and fire restrictions in this corridor should be confirmed before arrival.
