This video documents the descent section of the Lassen Peak Trail in Lassen Volcanic National Park. The route begins at the summit of Lassen Peak at approximately 3,187 m (10,457 ft) above sea level and descends back to the Lassen Peak Trailhead at about 2,591 m (8,500 ft). The descent covers approximately 4.0 km (2.5 miles), with roughly 630 m (2,067 ft) of elevation loss. The trail descends through exposed volcanic terrain, including loose rock, ash-covered slopes, and long descending switchbacks above the tree line. Wide views extend across the volcanic landscapes of Lassen Volcanic National Park, including surrounding peaks, lakes, forests, and geothermal areas. Lower sections of the route gradually transition back into sparse subalpine vegetation and more sheltered terrain near the trailhead. Filmed in real time in 4K HDR with natural ambient hiking sounds, the video presents an objective visual record of trail conditions, terrain, and the continuous descent from the summit plateau back to the Lassen Peak Trailhead. This video is part of a series documenting a California hiking trip in autumn 2024. This video is best viewed on high-resolution HDR displays. Producing such videos takes much effort.
