Newberry Crater National Monument



It's dark in this picture...but behind Jon and I is a geological wonderland. Crater upon crater created by volcanic eruptions. Most recently (last 200 years) was an obsidian flow of lava which hardened to form jagged, sharp rock. You can maybe make out the flow behind us also. We are standing atop Paulina Mountain.
