Close to the top of Prospect Peak, the trail breaks out of the forest to reveal absolutely awesome views in all directions.
Looking southeast from the top of Prospect Peak, one can look into Cinder Cone below (center lower left). On the horizon are Red Cinder and Red CInder Cone (right center). Snag Lake (right) with Mt Hoffman nearby, behind it, are also seen.
Looking southwest from the top of Prospect Peak: Lassen Peak (center), Chaos Crags (right center), and probably Mt. Conrad and Brokeoff Mountain (left center) in the far distance.
East-southeast from the top of Prospect Peak: Butte Lake below and beautiful forested hills stretching forever into the distance.
Looking northwest from the top of Prospect Peak, in the far distance, over 70 miles away, is Mt. Shasta, 14,179 ft. (just left of center).
Prospect Peak is a relatively mildly sloped ancient shield volcano, now beautifully forested with firs and bright green pinemat manzanita ground cover.
Bathtub Lake, the second small Lake, is passed by Bathtub Lake Trail.
