Tips
The Newberry volcano in Central Oregon has gigantic proportions and is (latently) active. On the northern edge, a few miles south of Bend, about 7000 years ago, one of its most recent eruptions took place, leaving a landscape that was almost raw until today. At the Lava Lands Visitor Center, a short nature trail, the Trail of the Molten Land, leads directly into the geological scene: very impressive and well done!
