On the 1.8-mile Broken Top Loop Trail, you can observe almost all the volcanic features of the basalt eruptions that created this unique landscape. With an elevation gain of just 242 feet, you'll circle the extinct Broken Top volcano and pass Buffalo Cave. This trail is also the access point to the Wilderness Trail.
