Paulina Falls

Paulina Falls
Newberry Crater, Oregon, south of Bend. The falls are formed by Paulina Creek as it exits Paulina Lake, the western of the two lakes in the caldera. The inset shows a view from below. "Paulina" is locally pronounced with a long "i", btw.

Newberry Crater is the large central caldera of Newberry Mountain, an enormous shield volcano, one of the more spectacular examples of volcanic activity in the Bend area. It's protected as a volcanic monument and is well known locally, but is not usually a Destination for tourists!

Amazing that whoever runs the parks/tourism promotion haven't picked up on this.

Oh, the Bend, Oregon area is a tourist center--it's just that with the Cascade volcanoes just to the west, Newberry is a bit over shadowed!

I've actually been there very many years ago, some time in the 70's or 80's. I was impressed and planned to go back, but somehow that's a part of Oregon I'm never able to get to.

We'd been here in the late 80s when our son was a baby. We didn't do much hiking then! I'd wanted to get back, but this is the first time we'd managed. One problem is that it's high enough to stay snowed in--when we were thru Bend in June '13, the road into the crater still hadn't opened. So the visiting window is pretty narrow.
