Lava Butte Cinder Cone

We stopped by the Lava Butte Cinder Cone to check out the fire lookout on our way to Newberry Crater for our birthday weekend.  It’s been several years since we were up here and the view is as good as ever.

The fire lookout was occupied upstairs with the Forest Service lookout but downstairs we were able to check everything out and get some interpretation with another employee who pointed out some cool features of the surrounding mountains.

We have our faithful Albino Rhino on this trip!
