Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center Webcam

This is the view looking north from the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center at Lassen Volcanic National Park. The peak to the left is Mt. Diller and Pilot Pinnacle sits to its right. On cool days, it is possible to see steam rising from the Sulphur Works hydrothermal area.

Group Size is limited to 10 persons or less. This can reduce physical impacts as well as impacts on the wilderness experiences of others.
Dogs are allowed in limited areas within the wilderness. A good rule of thumb is that a pet may go anywhere a car may go: roads and road shoulders (not snow-covered), campgrounds, picnic areas, and parking lots. Please pack-out their waste. Know the boundaries!
