Arnold Ice Cave to Lava Butte

Trail Overview

This route, for the most part, follows China Hat Road from the point at which it turns to gravel. Later as you head to the South and West, near Paulina Lake, the roads become narrow and more challenging (toward Lava Butte & HWY97). However - none of the trail is difficult.

Difficulty

Some parts are narrow and rutted and can become muddy with rainfall.
