What is the distance and elevation gain to climb Lassen Peak via the tourist route? About how long does it take?

Lassen Peak info

This is tourist info. Figure on about 1 to 1.5 hours to the top (one way) depending on how often you stop for pictures and to chat.

It took me about one hour in mid-September 1991 (after schools started, so no crowds), and agian during the crowded mid-summer season. The trail is very easy to follow. IF you're doing it in the summer (before the Labor Day holiday) make sure you get there early - you'd be surprised at how fast the big parking lot at its base can fill up.

Will be there in about 4 weeks - mid-September.

Thanks
