Missed Your Lassen Volcanic Passport Stamp?

Missing a Lassen Volcanic National Park Cancellation? You Are Not Alone.

Lassen Volcanic National Park Passport Cancellation Stamps

Lassen Volcanic National Park has passport cancellation stamps at the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center at the south entrance and at the Loomis Museum near the north entrance at Manzanita Lake. The Kohm Yah-mah-nee center is open year-round and is the most reliable stamp location.

A missing national park cancellation from Lassen Volcanic often occurs because the main park road through the volcanic landscape closes for heavy snow from approximately October through June — sometimes later. If you entered from the north side during summer, the Loomis Museum may have been your only option. Many visitors drive the scenic road stopping at Bumpass Hell, Sulphur Works, and Lassen Peak trailhead without visiting either end-of-road visitor center.

About Lassen Volcanic

State: California · Established: 1916 · Size: 106,589 acres · Iconic landmark: Lassen Peak

Lassen Volcanic is a fascinating showcase of volcanic power in the southern Cascade Range, where all four types of volcanoes found in the world are present within a single park. Its centerpiece, Lassen Peak, is one of the largest plug dome volcanoes on Earth and erupted dramatically in the early twentieth century, an event that helped spur the park's creation. Beyond the peak, the landscape bubbles and steams with hydrothermal wonders: boiling mud pots, hissing fumaroles, and the aptly named Bumpass Hell, a churning basin of sulfurous vents reached by a boardwalk trail. Clear alpine lakes, wildflower meadows, and forests fill the higher country, and the scenic park highway climbs past cinder cones and lava fields. Often overlooked and refreshingly uncrowded, Lassen offers dramatic geology and quiet mountain beauty.

Official passport cancellation stamps use region-specific ink colors. Lassen Volcanic National Park is in the Western region. We pre-select the matching color for you, but you can customize it to any color you prefer.

What is Bumpass Hell?

The park's largest hydrothermal area, a basin of boiling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and hot springs reached by a moderate 3-mile round-trip trail.

Can I climb Lassen Peak?

Yes. The strenuous trail to the summit gains about 2,000 feet over 2.5 miles one way, with panoramic views of the region at the top.

When is the park road fully open?

Heavy snow keeps the main highway closed much of the year. It typically fully opens by mid-summer and closes in fall.
