Little Belknap is just a five minute hike from the PCT. Explore around this little volcano to find the lava tubes. The views towards Mount Washington, the Three Sisters, Three Fingered Jack and over the gigantic lava fields are one of a kind. There is even a (rocky) spot for cowboy camping on top of Little Belknap.
