Hi Clementine! Welcome to the NDC, we are happy you decided to de-lurk and share your dream.
I have actually hiked to the top of Lassen, about 22 years ago. It is a wonderful volcano and park in the Cascades. It is dormant and hasn't erupted for around 100 years if I remember correctly. The last one was rather large. IF one were on the mountain during an eruption , there would no way to get off in good time. Narrow swtichback trails and climbing around and through boulders would make that difficult.
