Back when the Santiam Wagon Road was in use (between 1865 and 1939), House Rock offered temporary shelter during storms. This massive stone forms a natural cave. Giant old growth trees surround this interesting spot on the old wagon road. Definitely worth taking some time to check it out.

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.

Sahalie Falls greets cyclists with a breathtaking cascade as they arrive at the Sahalie Falls viewpoint. Though cyclists must dismount to fully appreciate the spectacle, the roaring waters plunging gracefully into the pool below offer a serene and mesmerizing sight, surrounded by verdant foliage and rugged cliffs.

This small volcano is situated just over 2 miles from the PCT trailhead at McKenzie Highway. Enjoy a unique landscape for trail running surrounded by immense lava fields and views of Mount Washington and Three Sisters Wilderness.

Situated at McKenzie Pass, Dee Wright Observatory is built entirely of volcanic rock in the shape of a fortress. The lava fields surrounding the observatory span for 100 square miles, offering endless possibilities for other-worldly running scenery! On a clear day enjoy spectacular views of Three Sisters Wilderness, Mount Washington, Mount Jefferson and numerous volcanic craters.

The observatory at the summit was constructed from the literal mountain of volcanic material it is located on. During construction great care was taken to leave "lava tube" windows in the wall so visitors can easily identify the surround mountains.

Tamolitch Falls, whose name is inspired by the Chinook jargon word for "bucket", also known as Blue Pool, boasts enduring allure. A lava flow from Belknap Crater buried a 3-mile stretch of the river 1,600 years ago, only to reemerge at Tamolitch Pool, seeping through porous lava to create its striking turquoise hue.
