The view from the trail is amazing. You can see where the Fantastic Lava Beds come right up to Butte Lake.

Bathtub Lake sits on the left hand side of the trail. This area is peaceful compared to Butte Lake where lunch can be enjoyed by yourself.
Rising above Butte Lake (left to right) are Sunrise Peak, Ash Butte, and Mt. Hoffman. The islands and boulders on the right shore are fantastic lava beds from slow cooling lava of cinder cone eruptions. Looking south from the north end of Butte Lake.
