Fashioned after the historical Emigrant Trails, such as the Oregon & Santa Fe Trails, The Newberry Country Trail is a car (or vehicle of your choice) tour of unique communities, geologic sites, museums & points of interest. If you were to drive without stopping, it originally was that classic “Three Hour Tour”…where you want to take the time to stop and learn and visit. On our “Three Loop Tour” - Cascades Lakes, High Desert & Crater Lake Loops - you might “Come here to play and move here to stay”. La Pine is the “Heart of the Trail” and a great place to start your adventure! The Visitor Center is the largest in Central Oregon (if not the state), and is thoughtfully filled with brochures from all along the trail as well as visitor sites throughout the State of Oregon and nearby surrounding states. The friendly volunteers are eager to guide you along the trail for the best visit ever, no matter the time of year. La Pine has lodging, gas, grocery stores, medical services, fire services, sporting goods & hardware, plus places to buy forest permits & game licenses … truly the NCT Trailhead. Start here … and get ready for your NCT adventure! www.lapine.org La Pine * NCT Trailhead | 2 3 | La Pine * NCT Trailhead www.lapine.org sk any “Lapinite” what they think about Oregon’s newest city and you will probably hear that they like it here! La Pine is the home base to the Newberry Country Trail, and even more importantly, it is the traditional home to adventure for folks of all ages - and it has held this title for a century plus! Most of the residents were originally tourists to the area. They came to play (fish, camp, hunt, recreate on ATV’s snowmobiles, skis or horses) and then they moved here to stay. In 1900 the little town of La Pine, known for its timber products and cattle, was one of the first destinations for the“ Valley” folks as the 20th century turned. Promotions were launched to entice and interest the rain- soaked residents in Portland, Eugene and Salem and encouraged them to spend time on the “Sunny Side of the Cascades”! It was not long before the Newberry Caldera had established special resorts at East Lake and Paulina Lake for the very wealthy. A road was built to bring horseless carriages into the Crater, and visiting the La Pine area became the rage across the Willamette Valley. In 1991, after several generations of loyal visitors, La Pine’s favorite caldera became one of Oregon’s three national monuments. The site was recognized by the federal government as The Newberry National Volcanic Monument. That’s why we call it the “Newberry Country Trail” … our very own backyard volcano! Note: This year we are pleased to add Crater Lake to our NCT guide … creating the only “Crater to Crater” experience we have seen! www.lapine.org La Pine * NCT Trailhead | 4 The Deschutes River (above) and Fall River Bridge (below) Photos Courtesy of Jim Dumon 5 | La Pine * NCT Trailhead www.lapine.org hy is La Pine so important to A FEW OF THE SIGHTS the trail?

  • OR Wild -Backmatter V2
    208 OREGON WILD Afterword JIM CALLAHAN One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast.... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of your- selves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious still- ness, the lovely mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men with their hearts in a safe-deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards. —Edward Abbey1 Edward Abbey. Ed, take it from another Ed, not only can wilderness lovers outlive wilderness opponents, we can also defeat them.

  • Overview for Geologic Field-Trip Guides to Mount Mazama, Crater Lake Caldera, and Newberry Volcano, Oregon
    Overview for Geologic Field-Trip Guides to Mount Mazama, Crater Lake Caldera, and Newberry Volcano, Oregon Scientific Investigations Report 2017–5022–J U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Cover (top photo): View east-northeast from Garfield Peak on the south rim of Crater Lake caldera. Peak on skyline is 8,929 feet (2,722 meters) Mount Scott, an ~420 thousand years before present (ka) dacite stratovolcano considered to be part of Mount Mazama, the volcano that collapsed during the caldera-forming eruption ~7,700 years ago. The caldera walls in this view expose Mazama lava flows and fragmental deposits from as old as ~400 ka at Phantom Cone, adjacent to tiny Phantom Ship island, to as young as ~27 ka at Redcloud Cliff, the V-shaped face at the top of the wall left of center. The beheaded glacial valley of Kerr Notch, the low point on the caldera rim, is seen between Phantom Ship and Mount Scott. Photograph by Carly McLanahan. Cover (bottom photo): Newberry Volcano, Oregon, is the largest volcano in the Cascades volcanic arc. This north-facing view taken from the volcano’s peak, Paulina Peak (elevation 7,984 feet), encompasses much of the volcano’s 4-by-5-milewide central caldera, a volcanic depression formed in a powerful explosive eruption about 75,000 years ago. The caldera’s two lakes, Paulina Lake (left) and the slightly higher East Lake (right), are fed in part by active hot springs heated by molten rock (magma) deep beneath the caldera. The Central Pumice Cone sits between the lakes.

  • The Economic, Environmental, and Social Benefits of Geothermal Use in Oregon Andrew Chiasson Geo-Heat Center Oregon Institute Of
    The Economic, Environmental, and Social Benefits of Geothermal Use in Oregon Andrew Chiasson Geo‐Heat Center Oregon Institute of Technology October 2011 Oregon has a long and rich history of utilization of its geothermal resources. Today, the documented direct uses of geothermal waters are related to space and district heating, snow‐ melting, spas and resorts, aquaculture, greenhouses, and agribusiness. The Geo‐Heat Center estimates that there are over 600 direct use applications in Oregon, not including undeveloped hot springs. Boyd (2007) and Sifford (2010) provide excellent summaries of geothermal energy uses in Oregon, some of which are no longer operational, and others that have expanded their use. The first permanent geothermal power plant in Oregon was installed Figure 1. Physiographic regions of Oregon at the Oregon Institute of Technology Campus in (reproduced from graphic by Elizabeth L. Orr, 2010, and a handful of other geothermal power Geology of Oregon). projects are currently under development at the time of this report. A Brief Note on the Occurrence of Geothermal Resources in Oregon With so many uses of geothermal energy in Oregon, it is helpful to describe their occurrence in relation to geologic province and geographic county. Figure 1 shows the nine major physiographic regions of Oregon, indicating the State’s diverse geologic nature. Essentially, the eastern two‐thirds of Oregon (beginning in the Cascades) has known or potential geothermal Figure 2. Map of Oregon Counties. resources. Figure 2 is a map of Oregon counties.
