You'll start out following the Nobles Emigrant Trail with mild elevation gain. You then have the option to continue on and hike up the cinder cone volcano. It's about an 800 ft elevation gain to the top. It's very strenuous and takes a lot of strength and determination to get to the top. The volcanic rocks are very slippery and hard to climb. Round trip time is about 3 hours. That being said, if you're fit enough to make the trip, it's well worth the effort.
The Butte Lake parking area is located off of the Butte Lake road in the northeast corner of the park. The Butte Lake area is accessed from highway 44, approximately 24 miles east of Manzanita Lake. The Cinder Cone trailhead is located on the southwest side of the boat ramp for Butte Lake.
