Lava Butte and Lava River Cave

Fodor's Review:

On the north end of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, you'll find Lava Butte and Lava River Cave. The Lava Butte area has several large basalt lava flows as well as the 500-foot Lava Butte cinder cone. Lava River Cave is a 1-mi-long lava tube. Enter by the visitor center. Note: visitor center may still be under renovation; these hours are subject to change, call first.

  • Cost: $5 per vehicle
  • Open: May-Oct., daily 9-5.
