Area Adventures

Lassen Volcanic National Park Is Only 10 Minutes Away!

Lassen Park is located approximately 10 minutes from Highlands Ranch Resort and offers over 150 miles of hiking, snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing trails for visitors of all levels of ability. Discover the effect of Lassen Peak’s last eruption (1914-1917) on the accessible trail at the Devastated Area, explore Lassen’s largest hydrothermal area on the Bumpass Hell trail, or spend the day climbing Brokeoff Mountain and enjoy its spectacular panoramic views. Lassen Volcanic National Park is truly one of the most astounding places to explore in North America. Hikes in the park range from easy to strenuous and provide exploration of peaceful mountain forests to dramatic bubbling volcanic mud pots and fumaroles. Please note that winter conditions often persist late into the summer months, and many trails are not snow free until June or July. Ask us about our box lunches or wine and cheese basket for you to take with you on your adventure!
