This first week of the New Year is all about a little throwback with national park photos from years past, along with a little trivia. 

Photographer B.F. Loomis captured many images during and after the 1914 and 1915 eruptions of Lassen Peak, and these photos and the unique nature of the volcano and active volcanic landscape around it encouraged Congress to establish Lassen Volcanic National Park on August 9, 1916.
