A view looking north of the summit area. Taken June 20, 2002. The summit had a wooden fire lookout structure built in 1912. It was only used for a little over a year when the mountain erupted on September 29, 1914 destroying the building. | |||||||||||
These old photos show the damage to the old lookout which was knocked off its foundations and rendered unuseable. Apparently no one was hurt. | |||||||||||
This is the 1948 benchmark at the summit and the name Lassen can barely be seen. Photo on June 20, 2002. | |||||||||||
