Over one mile, the Trail of the Molten Land invites you into the rough world of the eruptions around Lava Butte. There are lots of interesting information boards that show you the history and facts in a great visual way.

The geologic history of Oregon on display as you walk this trail is incredible. Interpretative signs explain many facets of the unique landscape - from the eruption history to the flora and fauna that live there. The volcanic history of Central Oregon is told here, and it is worth a stop!

If you don't have time to climb or drive on the butte, you should still do this very easy hike. There are great views and boards that explain a lot of things well.
