    Tips

    This smooth, yellow shield volcano rises above the sharp, black lava flows - a cool contrast in landscape. Yet this crater, and its little sister, Little Belknap, are both responsible for the extensive, young lava flows that cover the landscape. While its last eruption was around 480 AD, you'll still feel the power of the geology from the summit. Expansive views of the lava fields and the surrounding peaks are worth the steep, sandy hike to the summit.
