On our way to Bend, we stopped off at Newberry Crater to take a look at the Big Obsidian Flow. This is literally a very large flow of obsidian inside the crater.
There are many beautiful rocks at the flow.
Looking out into the crater and onto one of the two major lakes.
This glass could be extremely sharp if one were to touch it incorrectly.
Vera amongst the flow.

Absolutely gorgeous.
This is such an amazing place.

While trying to cross the snow, a guy in another group sunk up to his hips. I was standing by to offer assistance but he was able to free himself after much work. It was pretty lucky. The guy nearly broke his leg.
I helped Heather cross the snow safely.
