This article contains a detailed trail description and a trail map that give you everything you need to know to fully enjoy the Whitney Butte Trail.<\/p>\n<p>Lava Beds National Monument hosts many hiking trails, some to its famous lava tube caves, others through the open high desert. The Whitney Butte Trail is a mix: it starts at Merrill Ice Cave before wandering through sage and juniper to Whitney Butte and Callahan Lava Flow. The hike features wildlife, open vistas of northeastern California, up-close views of volcanic land forms, and backpacking opportunities for the adventurous.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3635\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3635\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3635\" src=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/whitney-butte-trail-lava-beds-national-monument-begin.jpg\" alt=\"The Whitney Butte Trail in Lava Beds National Monument leads to Callahan Lava Flow and can be a day hike or an overnight backpacking trip.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/whitney-butte-trail-lava-beds-national-monument-begin.jpg 600w, https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/whitney-butte-trail-lava-beds-national-monument-begin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/whitney-butte-trail-lava-beds-national-monument-begin-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/whitney-butte-trail-lava-beds-national-monument-begin-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/whitney-butte-trail-lava-beds-national-monument-begin-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/whitney-butte-trail-lava-beds-national-monument-begin-490x327.jpg 490w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3635\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beginning the Whitney Butte Trail in Lava Beds National Monument<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Lava Beds Hiking Trails in My Hiking Guidebook<\/h2>\n<p>The description below of the Whitney Butte Trail is just one of 8 Lava Beds hikes in my new book <a href=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/day-hiking-mount-shasta-lassen-trinity-alps-trails\/\">Day Hiking: Mount Shasta, Lassen &amp; Trinity Alps Regions<\/a>.

Western juniper is by far the most common tree, but you\u2019ll also spot a few ponderosa pines. Look north for views of the Devil\u2019s Homestead Lava Flow, Gillem Bluff, Tule Lake, Mount Dome, and distant Mount McLoughlin in southern Oregon. To the east rises Schonchin Butte, which, like Whitney Butte, is a cinder cone.<\/p>\n<p>The trail bends westward at 1.8 miles, allowing the first view of the broad flanks and high summit of Mount Shasta. Go left at a trail fork at 2.2 miles, continue west, and then eventually border the northern edge of Whitney Butte.<\/p>\n<h2>Whitney Butte and Callahan Lava Flow<\/h2>\n<p>After rounding Whitney Butte, the trail continues another 0.1 mile to end at the edge of the Callahan Lava Flow. This massive sheet of <a href=\"https:\/\/geology.com\/rocks\/basalt.shtml\">basalt<\/a> covers many square miles and was extruded from Cinder Butte to the south around 1100 years ago. Note that lichens and a few plants have begun the slow process of colonizing at the edge of the flow.<\/p>\n<div class=\"color-block\">\n<h4>The Top 100 Day Hikes and Backpacking Trips in Northern California<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3154\" src=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/northern-california-hikes-100-classic-trails-4e-300.jpg\" alt=\"100 Classic Hikes in Northern California covers the best hiking trails in the Trinity Alps, Lassen Volcanic National Park, the Sierra Nevada, the redwood coast, and the San Francisco Bay Area.

From here, pick your own route to the top of the cinder cone, where excellent views in all directions await. Return the way you came.<\/p>\n<h2>Backpacking in Lava Beds National Monument<\/h2>\n<p>The Whitney Butte Trail is one of three trails in Lava Beds National Monument that are suitable for backpacking. The other two are the Three Sisters Trail and the Lyons Trail.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a backpacker, remember the following: Bring all water with you (at least 1 gallon per person per day); fires are always prohibited, and even gas stoves may be prohibited during times of high fire danger; camp at least a quarter mile from the trailhead and public roads (there are no developed sites, but you\u2019ll find numerous flat areas).<\/p>\n<h2>Exploring Merrill Ice Cave<\/h2>\n<p>Merrill Ice Cave, reached by a short paved trail from the parking lot, ranks as one of the most spectacular in Lava Beds National Monument. From the trail\u2019s end, you\u2019ll descend a 15-foot stairway, travel through the cave, and then descend a 17-foot ladder to the cave\u2019s lower chamber.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3633\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3633\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3633\" src=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/merrill-ice-cave-lava-beds-national-monument.jpg\" alt=\"Merrill Ice Cave is one of many lava tube caves you an explore in Lava Beds National Monument.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/merrill-ice-cave-lava-beds-national-monument.jpg 600w, https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/merrill-ice-cave-lava-beds-national-monument-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/merrill-ice-cave-lava-beds-national-monument-490x327.jpg 490w, https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/merrill-ice-cave-lava-beds-national-monument-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3633\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Entering Merrill Ice Cave<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6220\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6220\" src=\"https:\/\/northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/safe-caving-caves-lava-beds-national-monument.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Safely, Cave Softly.
