Experience a guided hike with a U.S. Forest Service Ranger on Newberry Caldera’s Big Obsidian Flow! The Big Obsidian Flow is the most recent volcanic event at Newberry Caldera and Oregon’s youngest lava flow. Hikes generally last 45 minutes and cover approx. ½ mile.
Due to the uneven surfaces and sharp volcanic glass, no closed toed shoes or dogs are allowed on the guided hike. Visitors are encouraged to bring water with them and use the restroom before the hike begins.
