A Visit to Lava Butte
[//]:# (!worldmappin 43.91817 lat -121.35526 long  d3scr)


###### <center>**Last week on a drive to Sunriver, Oregon we decided to stop by and explore a small part of the 54,000 acre [Newberry National Volcanic Monument](https://www.fs.usda.gov/visit/destination/newberry-national-volcanic-monument-0). A 500 foot tall cinder cone named [Lava Butte](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava_Butte) is right along HWY 97 as you travel north/south through Central Oregon. From the top are spectacular views of the surrounding area and the Central Oregon Cascade Mountain Range. Follow along as I share some of the shots I captured that day.**</center>

A look toward the top as we begin our ascent.  It is a short drive to the top as you circle around the cone to reach the summit. A little video near the end of this post will show some of the descent.

A little ground squirrel digging in the cinders. Life will find a way even in the harshest environments.

A short, but extremely steep walk, brings you to the top and the fire lookout that resides there.

Soon it gives way to the pine forest that carpets the area leading up to the foothills of the Cascades.

Looking north you can see HWY 97 below that leads into Bend. In the near distance you can see [Pilot Butte](https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=33) that is somewhat in the middle of the city. Also a place for spectacular views. In the far distance is [Smith Rock State Park](https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=36).

As you can see it was a somewhat hazy day due to all the prescribed burns recently. They do the controlled burns now to try and mitigate wildfires later in the season.

When the lava field initially covered the land it also blocked the flow of the Deschutes river and created [Lake Benham](https://people.wou.edu/~taylors/g407/jen_chit_01.pdf). Eventually the river found a new course and the lake was drained leaving [Benham Falls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benham_Falls).

As promised a quick video of the descent from Lava Butte.

I’m not surprised that squirrel paused to enjoy the view. I thought the cinder was pretty until I saw the view from the top. It’s so beautiful up there. 
And I’m definitely saving this for my wallpaper.

There are still some active ones around. I think a lot of it is done by satellite now. I did notice there was someone up top where the public wasn't allowed to go.

I knew it! 😄 That's a lot of geologic mayhem going on in that place. It's interesting how over time, some plants are able to inhabit the place once again.

It is pretty amazing. Most of central Oregon is all about geologic upheaval. Life does find a way to survive even in the harshest of environments. 🙂

Bend to the north has about 100,000 people and a few more to the south in Sunriver.Here Most of it though is just a lot of open forest with nobody around.
