LAVA BEDS NATIONAL MONUMENT – WHAT TO EXPECT
Hundreds of caves, Native American rock art sites, historic battlefields, and a high desert wilderness await you at the unparalleled Lava Beds National Monument. Formed over the last half-million years by flows of smooth lava from the Medicine Lake Volcano, this rugged landscape dotted with diverse volcanic features is definitely one of the Byway’s crown jewels.
