Newberry National Volcanic Monument
Newberry National Volcanic Monument, Nature reserve in Deschutes County, US.
The monument spans 54,000 acres with volcanic fields, lava flows, cinder cones, and two lakes within the Newberry Caldera in central Oregon.
The U.S. Forest Service established this protected area in 1990 to safeguard geological formations, including the largest uncollapsed lava tube in Oregon.
Native American tribes utilized the volcanic resources for tools and sustenance, leaving behind rock art that documents their presence in the region.
Visitors access twelve designated trails ranging from 0.25 to 21 miles, with Paulina Peak road reaching 7,985 feet in elevation during summer months.
The Big Obsidian Flow creates a 700-acre black glass surface from volcanic activity that occurred 1,300 years ago.
