We originally planned on going to Burney Falls on July 4th 2026, but unfortunately, they have a new vistor's policy requiring people to purchase tickets online. Not only that, but there are only so many available and all had been purchased that day! A bit irritated and frustrated, we opted for Lassen Subway Caves. In the end, we weren't disappointed as that attraction was absolutely amazing! No park bureaucracy, just a cool place to go and explore! Bring flashlights as it gets extremely dark and you won't be able to see at all! An amazing natural volcanic formation nestled in the beautiful Mount Lassen countryside! There is a bit of a hike and a few stairs so keep that in mind with people who have mobility issues. I highly recommend if you haven't gone it's a great outing!

This place is pretty cool.. literally! It stays 47 degrees all year around. About 3/10 of a mile long. It’s absolutely pitch dark in the middle so bring a flashlight or headlamp. Some people also use their flashlights on their phones. Free to get in, there is also RV parking. Small walk with some stairs involved. Really a cool stop to just get out for a few. They have picnic tables to rest or have lunch. Just a fun stop . Highly recommend this cool little spot.

We've visited a few lava tubes in surrounding states and this is our favorite. Adequate parking area with restrooms, short walk to the cave with an easy walk through the tube and no huge crowds. There were informational reader boards in the cave. A very nice visit

Easy 5 or 10 minute walk through the cave. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes with a sturdy sole as the ground is uneven. Bring a bright flashlight, this is a must not a suggestion. In the video walking through the cave the past that goes dark is me turning off the flashlight, you can't see anything.

Amazing place. Went in May so wasn't super busy. In summer months I imagine alot more people but our experience was amazing. To see true darkness was amazing and the walls with the flashlights we had its just like art work. We went through the cave and up back ontop of it for the return also just beautiful
