Bathtub Lake sits on the left hand side of the trail. This area is peaceful compared to Butte Lake where lunch can be enjoyed by yourself.
East-southeast from the top of Prospect Peak: Butte Lake below and beautiful forested hills stretching forever into the distance.

Looking northwest from the top of Prospect Peak, in the far distance, over 70 miles away, is Mt. Shasta, 14,179 ft. (just left of center).
East-southeast from the top of Prospect Peak: Butte Lake below and beautiful forested hills stretching forever into the distance.
Looking southwest from the top of Prospect Peak: Lassen Peak (center), Chaos Crags (right center), and probably Mt. Conrad and Brokeoff Mountain (left center) in the far distance.
Looking southeast from the top of Prospect Peak, one can look into Cinder Cone below (center lower left). On the horizon are Red Cinder and Red CInder Cone (right center). Snag Lake (right) with Mt Hoffman nearby, behind it, are also seen.
Close to the top of Prospect Peak, the trail breaks out of the forest to reveal absolutely awesome views in all directions.
Prospect Peak is a relatively mildly sloped ancient shield volcano, now beautifully forested with firs and bright green pinemat manzanita ground cover.
A view of the area's volcanic past can be seen along the trail.
