On our way back home from Crater Lake, we stopped off at the Newberry National Volcanic Monument to see the Big Obsidian Flow which was created 1,300 years ago and covers 700 acres. It really looked like someone just dumped a big pile of rocks in the middle of a valley.
There was a trail to hike up the big pile of rocks and that is what we did. We are sure glad we brought the backpack.
You can't really tell from this picture, but the rock is really shiny and looks like glass.
You are forbidden to take any rocks out of the park. Although, I didn't really see anyone doing any searches.
