Rising above Butte Lake (left to right) are Sunrise Peak, Ash Butte, and Mt. Hoffman. The islands and boulders on the right shore are fantastic lava beds from slow cooling lava of cinder cone eruptions. Looking south from the north end of Butte Lake.
Bathtub Lake sits on the left hand side of the trail. This area is peaceful compared to Butte Lake where lunch can be enjoyed by yourself.

A view of the area's volcanic past can be seen along the trail.
Bathtub Lake sits on the left hand side of the trail. This area is peaceful compared to Butte Lake where lunch can be enjoyed by yourself.
Bathtub Lake, the second small Lake, is passed by Bathtub Lake Trail.
The trail crosses a dry creaked via two boards and then starts climbing up a hill.
The first little lake is set in the pine forest below Bathtub Lake Trail.
Cinder Cone rises in the distance as the Fantastic Lava Beds come right up to the water. Kayakers, paddleboarders, and fishermen can be seen on the lake.
The view from the trail is amazing. You can see where the Fantastic Lava Beds come right up to Butte Lake.
