lava lands visitor center印象

We stopped here mostly for my nephew who absolutely loved this place! Great stop for families and kids but I enjoyed it too. I found the rangers helpful and knowledgeable. It allows a great opportunity to explore.

We came here an hour before they opened. We walked around for less than a half hour and when we got back to our car, we got a ticket. We were very upset. The park officer said not to worry that you could just pay the entrance fee and they would negate the ticket which they promptly did but it was very disconcerning. They may want to think of a different way to handle that situation.Behind the visitor center, there are trails through lava flows which reminded us of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. It is a very interesting trail especially for those who are unfamiliar with the look of lava. We then lined up for Lava Butte. They only let so many cars up at a time since parking is limited. There is a nice view up there but you may have to wait a while before being let up there.I think this was an interesting park.

for $5 a car you can get in and walk among the lava beds...this is a great family hike and very peaceful and serene. You also will have access to drive your car to the top if you choose so. There are lots of little creatures to see and hunt for...bring a lunch and water and have a great picnic.

We spotted Lava Lands Visitor Center and Lava Butte on our way to nearby Lapine State park. Due to the holiday weekend the first time we stopped there were no more passes to Lava Butte available. We stopped back by the next day on our way home and were glad we did. We were able to obtain the time pass to drive up to the top of Lava Butte and walk the trail at the summit. The view is amazing! Seeing the lava and checking out the cinder cone was a neat experience. Walking the trail it is loose pumice type rock that can shift underfoot. The 30 minutes allotted was just the perfect amount of time. We did not have time to check out the visitor center or any other trails, but would recommend based on Lava Butte alone.

We were driving to Crater Lake from the Seattle area when we happened along this park. It was quite a unique experience. I recommend stopping to at least drive to the top of the butte to see how far this lava flow goes. It is very interesting to say the least.

This is a great stop when visiting central Oregon. You can spend an hour or half a day, depending on your interests. It is only open on weekends now (October), but refer to website for year round schedule. Visitor center has good short history and geology info. Of special note, there is a new bike trail from Sunriver to Lava Lands. It's a beautiful 5 mile ride through the Lodgepole pine forest. Also be sure to got to the top of Lava Butte to see the sights from the fire lookout cinder cone! Another bonus, a mostly shady parking lot is a great picnic spot.

I saw this place on our way to Bend! Literally a huge, ancient lava flow that dead ends at the highway. I knew I had to go here on the way back home. So we did! And I was not disappointed in the slightest. There are a few, easy, paved pathways through the old lava flows that you think you would only see in Hawaii. I never knew that Oregon was so volcanic. You can drive to the top of the cone but we didn't do that. We are hikers so hike in we did. The views are quite spectacular. You can see Mt. Bachelor and the Three Sisters from many of the viewpoints. We came as the fog was rolling through the area...breathtaking. There is also a lava tube that you can walk through but we didn't get to it based on time constraints. Next time for sure. Beware the mighty chipmunk and ground squirrels, they are everywhere and add to the charm of this treasure. Don't forget to see Nessie!

Again we decided to have a detour, and were not disappointed with this stop. We climbed to the top of Lava Butte and had great views of the surrounding areas and the extinct volcano. Easy walk up to the summit. First time experience of seeing volcanic matter. Worth a visit.

There's not much to see in this visitor center, except of the movie, which was very boring...Don't bother.

When they say "Lava lands" they aren't kidding. Miles of hardened lava stretch everywhere creating a unique landscape. The ride to the top of the cone circumnavigates the volcanic cone leading to a great view from a different perspective. I'd urge folks not to miss this place!
