Today we drove to about 6000' to volcano-formed lakes and falls. The Newberry Caldera volcano erupted about 1300 years ago. Paulina Lake and East Lake were originally one lake in the crater of the volcano. Over time land mass uplifted and divided the one lake into two...Paulina Lake and East Lake
.
The views on the twelve mile drive to the volcano were magnificient.
Our first stop was to the Paulina Falls and then we drove on to Paulina Lake and East Lake.
