If you are swinging through the Lava Beds Monument (which is a bit of a drive from Lassen as it is very near Alturas/Tulelake), then you REALLY don't want to miss the Petroglyphs. You can drive the car right to the base of the Petroglyph rock formation, directions to the site are included in your map of the Lava Beds Monument.
It is one of those places that no one tells you about, it's like a hidded-in-plain-view treasure. The 'glphys are probably 15 feet high and at least 250 or 300 feet long. A truly amazing site. With the wind-erosion from the reclaimed lake beds, these will probably disappear in our life-time.
See them while you can. In the Lava Beds, Skull Ice Cave and Golden Dome are two of my favorites. Remember to look UP in Golden Dome, it is aptly named.
