After hiking the "heart-pumping" final 200 feet to the top of 750-feet tall Cinder Cone, you'll be greeted with a view of Cinder Cone's double-rimmed crater. Turn to face away from the crater view and you'll be rewarded with vistas including Lassen Peak, Painted Dunes, Snag Lake, Butte Lake, and the Fantastic Lava Beds.
