Deschutes NF Dispersed off NF 9720 near Lava River Cave

Description

Ponderosa country in the Deschutes National Forest, this level roadside pullout sits just off the forest road network near Camp Abbot Buttes and within a few miles of Lava River Cave. The area opens up enough to accommodate multiple rigs, and a dirt two-track continues farther back from the road for those wanting more separation. No cell signal reaches here, so self-sufficient setups are the norm; note that an active quarry across the road means daytime quiet is not guaranteed.
