North Crater Trail
This 1 1/2-mile trail hugs the contours of
two cones - North Crater and Big Craters.
Among its rewards are unmatched views
into the mouth of a volcano.
At North Crater viewpoint look for:
-the swirling effect in the lava flow as it
churned around and then out in a broad
river of molten rock.
-a break in the crater wall. Some
fragments of the missing wall were
dropped a hal-mile from here, rafted
that distance by a lava flow.
