Description

The loop trail around Broken Top, a tall, sparsely vegetated cone, encounters a wide variety of features including aa lava, pahoehoe lava, cinders, lava bombs, pressure ridges and lava tubes. This trail gives you access to The Big Sink Overlook Trail and ends at a junction with the Wilderness Trail just East of the Buffalo Caves.

The caves have three basic levels and can be followed underground a little way through though the ceilings are low with tight squeezes and some sections are closed. To make the loop, go west on Wilderness Trail until you rejoin this trail adjacent to the road.
