Lava Butte
Lava Butte is a cinder cone that erupted 7000 years ago and poured out a lava field that covered some ten square miles of evergreen forest south of what is now Bend, Oregon, and displaced the Deschutes River as much as a mile west of its former path. This popular site for hikers and tourists is a part of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, which encompasses numerous geologic features between Bend to the north and Lapine to the south.
