given at Manzanita Lake and Summit Lake. 
The Manzanita Lake Visitor Center was given to the 
park by Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Loomis. The building houses a 
series of dioramas and exhibits that explain the geological 
story of the park and vicinity. Illuminated transparencies 
tell of the eruptions of Lassen Peak. Ethnological and his- 
torical exhibits portray human aspects of the Lassen story. 
Publications dealing with park subjects, and topographic 
maps are on sale at the visitor center; and an attendant is 
on duty to provide general information. 
You are invited to take advantage of the naturalist serv- 
ices, for which there is no charge. Announcements of the 
programs and schedules are posted on the bulletin boards.

enjoyed in this park. Rainbow trout, which are native to the 
waters, are abundant. Brook and brown trout, which are 
introduced species, are plentiful in some places. The 
brown bullhead also was brought in; it is found in Man- 
zanita and Reflection Lakes. 
Hiking and Horseback Trips 
The eastern wilderness and lake sections of the park can 
be enjoyed only by hikers and horseback parties. Over 100 
miles of trail lead to remote sections of the park. Colorful 
hot springs, gorgeous wildflower meadows, silvery lakes, and 
other wonders await those who leave the roads and take to 
the trails. Saddle and pack trips will be arranged for those 
desiring this service. Hikers can travel the well-marked 
trails without guides, including the Lassen Peak Trail, where 
horses are not allowed. 
Novice and expert skiers find slopes
