Painted Dunes and Fantastic Lava Beds, Lassen Volcanic National Park, as seen from the edge of Cinder Cone’s crater. Painted Dunes consist of layers of oxidized volcanic ash which became so vividly colorful because the ash fell on a bed of lava flows while still hot. Cinder Cone, the Fantastic Lava Beds, and Painted Dunes were formed during two eruptions that occurred in the 1650s.
