Lava Butte

Climbing and access information this peak is on Page 111 of the book.


Lava Butte sits in the middle of an extensive area that burned in the early 1990s. Still, it is a worthy goal and a good vantage point to learn the terrain of the northeastern section of the Idaho Batholith and the Northeastern Salmon River Mountains. USGS Hershey Point
