This valley is full of—you guessed it!—little hot springs. But you won’t see geysers and mud pots here. Instead, you’re likely to see volcanic steam wafting up from between the trees like terrible-smelling campfire smoke.

Kings Creek is one of Lassen’s shorter hikes, at around 2.5 miles. It’s a moderate trail and takes two hours to hike. It follows the creek down through Kings Creek Upper Meadow, where dozens of varieties of wildflowers grow, from the beautifully-named alpine shooting star to the slightly less beautifully-named wandering fleabane.
