Built completely with lava stone by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935, the open shelter observatory is the highest point of on the McKenzie Pass Scenic Byway. It offers visitors a perfect vantage point to view the expansive Cascade Mountains through strategically placed lava tube viewing holes. There’s also a brass “peak finder” to help tell you what you’re looking at and a half mile interpretative trail through the field of lava rocks that make this such a unique Central Oregon attraction.
