Paulina Falls

29 Aug 2017 3 7 768
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!
