"Schonchin Butte" Top 5 Page for this destination Lava Beds National Monument Things to Do Tip by WulfstanTraveller

Schonchin Butte, named for a Modoc leader, is a prominent butte in the western part of the monument, near the Schonchin lava flow, one of the two major lava flows. There is a trail leading up to a fire lookout post and one can hike up to the top, but it is fairly steep.

Directions: Western part of the monument. From the caves/visitors' centre, take the road north towards Gillem's Camp, Tulelake, and Oregon. It will be quite obvious on the right.
