Lava Beds National Monument

1 Indian Well Hqtrs. Tulelake, CA      (530) 667-8100 

 Lava Beds National Monument is a land of turmoil, both geological and historical. Over the last half-million years, volcanic eruptions on the Medicine Lake shield volcano have created a rugged landscape dotted with diverse volcanic features. More than 700 caves, Native American rock art sites, historic battlefields and campsites, and a high desert wilderness experience await you! 

Fleener Chimneys

Hidden Valley

Petroglyph Point

Schonchin Butte Lookout

Lava Beds National Monument – The lookout was built in 1939-1941 by Civilian Conservation Corpsmen.  Listed on the national register of historic buildings, it still serves many functions and will probably be staffed well into the next century.
