This sign was located at the Phil Brogan Viewpoint on the Trail of the Molten Land. In 2011, to meet current ADA requirements the Trail of the Molten Lands had to be rerouted and signs replaced. New signs were designed which are more colorful but in many cases less informative than they could have been.
Marker Name: Gutters
Marker Text: Three main gutters carried lava flows which buried 10 square miles of pine forests and blocked the Deschutes River at five places. Lava levees gradually dammed two of the gutters as the volume of lava decreased. One of the blocked gutters lies below. The trail you have been walking on follows the path of the third gutter.
