Easy, some nice views of Mt Lassen.
Nice trail with some elevation. Interesting interpretive trail about local geology. Map is online but maybe available at the trail head.
Nice easy hike with stops featuring volcanic formations (the coolest one's are 10 and 11 which are off a little spur at some point during the loop). The trail is clearly marked and has a good amount of variety. Worth the stop if you're in the area.
Great hike with our 5 year old. Cool facts and info about the volcanic geography along the way. Good, easy hike.
