About

Turn into the pullout for a view of Chaos Crags and Chaos Jumbles--two more volcanic features that tell of the region's fiery past.

Chaos Crags are plug dome volcanoes, just like Lassen Peak, except they’re very jagged. On the other hand, Chaos Jumbles are the acres of volcanic rocks strewn about between the crags and Manzanita Lake.

Wanna know more? Tap the red map marker called "Born out of Chaos" to hear a Press to Play, bonus story about these fascinating volcanic features.
