Lava Butte, Bend, OR

As I passed by last time I visited Bend, I saw the volcano on the side of Route 97. This time, I finally had the chance to visit the park although some trails were open but not the one to climb it. That was still closed for the season. 

So I stayed in the park enjoying the Lava Butte volcano's view.
