This view from Prospect Peak shows perhaps the youngest lava flow immediately north of the Lassen volcanic center. This sparsely vegetated flow originated from a small cinder cone (left-center) between Prospect and West Prospect (upper left) peaks, two young basaltic lava cones straddling the NE border of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The young, but undated andesitic flow traveled initially to the NE and then around the flank of West Prospect Peak to the NW.
