Black Crater Trail

Embark on a 0.5-mile out-and-back trail with a gentle elevation gain of 45 ft in Lava Beds National Monument. Typically completed in just 12 minutes, this trail is perfect for birding, hiking, and leisurely walks. Although it's a popular spot, you can find moments of solitude during quieter hours. Enjoy this trail between March and October, but please be aware that dogs are not permitted.
