Hike to Cold Boiling and Crumbaugh Lakes, Lassen Volcanic National Park, California
The hike to Cold Boiling Lake is pretty level and then it decends to Crumbaugh Lake. The trail then descends a steep grade to Mill Creek Falls. The hike starts at Kings Creek Picnic Area. Cold Boiling Lake is 0.8 mile; Crumbaugh Lake is 1.3; Mill Creek Falls is 3.0; Southwest Campground is 4.6; all distances one way.
From Mill Creek Falls the trail follows a steady incline to the Southwest Campground. A one way trip to the campground, arranging for transportation at the lower end, makes an ideal, easy, half-day hike.
This little-traveled area is excellent for birds, wildflowers, and deer. The meadow along the shore of Crumbaugh Lake has a variety of wildflowers and the meadows past Crumbaugh Lake are ideal for wildlife viewing.
Cold Boiling Lake is so named because gas bubbles are continually rising at some points near the shore.
