About this spot

Terminal Geyser

The Terminal Geyser is a popular point of interest in California's Lassen Volcanic National Park. It is a unique hydrothermal feature that erupts every few minutes, shooting a plume of steam and water up to 40 feet in the air.

There are several reasons why visitors should consider adding the Terminal Geyser to their national park itinerary. For one, it offers a rare opportunity to witness geothermal activity in action. Additionally, the geyser is located in a picturesque setting, surrounded by lush vegetation and rock formations.

Visitors to the Terminal Geyser can expect to see a variety of hydrothermal features, including bubbling mud pots and hot springs. The area is also home to a diverse array of wildlife, such as black bears, deer, and coyotes.

It's important to note that the Terminal Geyser is located in a remote area of the park and requires a moderate hike to reach. Visitors should come prepared with sturdy shoes and plenty of water. Additionally, visitors should exercise caution around the geyser and obey all posted safety warnings.

Overall, the Terminal Geyser is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Lassen Volcanic National Park. Its unique geothermal activity and stunning surroundings make it a memorable stop on any national park tour.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
