    Hiking

    Flatiron Rock is the origin of the lava flow that spewed to the surface when lava traveled through a lava tube system and reached the area from the blast of the Newberry Volcano around 80,000 years ago. To make things even more interesting: The soil you are hiking on consists mostly of ash that drifted here when Mount Mazama – today known as Crater Lake – erupted 7,700 years ago.

    The Flatiron Rock Trail is also part of the long-distance Oregon Desert Trail that stretches west of Bend all the way to the Owyhee Reservoir close to Idaho.
