Newberry National Volcanic Monument

Newberry National Volcanic Monument, nestled within the Deschutes National Forest, spans 54,000 acres in Central Oregon’s high plains. This vast area was once the site of the Newberry Volcano, which erupted over 75,000 years ago and remains seismically active. Today, the monument is a landscape of lakes, lava tubes, and intricate geological formations. Visitors can explore this natural wonder through a variety of activities, including hiking, camping, fishing, and winter sports, all while experiencing the unique textures and patterns left by the region’s volcanic past.
