Pahvant Butte, Dormant volcano in Millard County, United States
Pahvant Butte features two prominent peaks reaching elevations of 1,753 meters and 1,672 meters, rising 300 meters above the Sevier Desert valley floor.
The volcanic formation emerged approximately 15,500 years ago through an explosive underwater eruption in Lake Bonneville, releasing volcanic ash across the region.
The Clear Lake Bird Refuge near Pahvant Butte maintains spring-fed ponds that support diverse bird species within this volcanic landscape.
Visitors access the site via Highway 6/50 to Route 257, followed by a 12-kilometer drive on a maintained dirt road from Clear Lake Bird Refuge.
The formation includes the Lace Curtain, a vertical cliff displaying intricate white patterns created by mineral deposits in volcanic tuff through groundwater action.
