Painted Dunes on the southeast side of Cinder Cone, seen from Nobles Emigrant Trail (East). In the distance to the southeast is Mt. Hoffman, 7,833 ft.
Approaching the Painted Dunes (center) from the north on Butte Lake to Snag Lake Trail (West). Mount Harkness (center left), 8,046 ft., is in the far distance to the south.
Fairfield Peak (left) and distant Lassen Peak (right), 10,457 ft., are stunning against the barren volcanic ash on the west side of Cinder Cone.
Approaching Cinder Cone from the south on Nobles Emigrant Trail (East), a hardy fir tree grows in the volcanic sand and ash. At the base of Cinder Cone on the right are some Painted Dunes.
Looking across the volcanic sand, the Painted Dunes are on the left. The green area is a tiny seasonal wet area due to recent snow melt. Mt. Hoffman, 7,833 ft., is on the left behind the Painted Dunes.
From the rim of Cinder Cone looking southwest: Lassen Peak (upper right), Fairfield Peak (upper left center), and Painted Dunes (lower right).
