Key topics include the geologic control of hydrologic regimes on both the wet and dry sides of the Cascade Range crest, groundwater dynamics and interaction between surface and groundwater in young volcanic arcs, and interactions between rivers and lava flows. As we trace the Willamette and McKenzie Rivers back to source springs high in the young volcanic rocks of the Cascade Range, there is abundant evidence for the large permeability of young lava flows, as manifested in streams that dewater into lava flows, lava-dammed lakes in closed basins, and rivers that emerge from single springs. These dynamics contrast sharply with the older, lower permeability Western Cascades terrane and associated runoff-dominated fluvial systems. On the east side of the Cascades we encounter similar hydrologic characteristics resulting in complex interactions between surface water and groundwater as we follow the Deschutes River downstream to its confluence with the Crooked River. Here, deep canyons have cut through most of the permeable part of the geologic section, have been invaded by multiple large intracanyon lava flows, and are the locus of substan­ tial regional groundwater discharge. The groundwater and surface-water interaction in the Deschutes Basin is further complicated by surface-water diversions and an extensive network of leaking irrigation canals. Our west-to-east transect offers an unparalleled opportunity to examine the co-evolution of the geology and hydrology of an active volcanic arc. .. Cashman. K. Y. Deligne. N.!.. Gannett. M.W..

They skirt a white‐barked aspen grove and cross marshy Big Meadow, sharing the grasses with horses and livestock, on a nature trail with viewing areas for dozens of colorful species of birds. This is summer at the 1,830‐acre Black Butte Ranch. The nearest Central Oregon resort to the Willamette Valley, just 100 miles east of Eugene via Santiam Pass, the 45‐year‐old destination property delivers on a promise of relaxation. Families may enjoy summer visits when swimming pools are open and other activities, including golf, tennis and horseback riding, are going full bore, but Black Butte Ranch, known as BBR, thrives on serenity. Other resorts are all about hustle and bustle, but Black Butte even banishes overhead street lights, enhancing a “night sky” program that makes the heavens come alive.

  • Geology of the Northern Part of the Southeast Three Sisters
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Karl C. Wozniak for the degree of Master of Science the Department cf Geology presented on February 8, 1982 Title: Geology of the Northern Part of the Southeast Three Sisters Quadrangle, Oregon Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: E. M. Taylorc--_, The northern part of the Southeast Three Sisters quadrangle strad- dles the crest of the central High Cascades of Oregon. The area is covered by Pleistocene and Holocene volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks that were extruded from a number of composite cones, shield volcanoes, and cinder cones. The principal eruptive centers include Sphinx Butte, The Wife, The Husband, and South Sister volcanoes. Sphinx Butte, The Wife, and The Husband are typical High Cascade shield and composite vol- canoes whose compositions are limited to basalt and basaltic andesite. South Sister is a complex composite volcano composed of a diverse assem- blage of rocks. In contrast with earlier studies, the present investi- gation finds that South Sister is not a simple accumulation of andesite and dacite lavas; nor does the eruptive sequence display obvious evolu- tionary trends or late stage divergence to basalt and rhyolite. Rather, the field relations indicate that magmas of diverse composition have been extruded from South Sister vents throughout the lifespan of this volcano. The compositional variation at South Sister is. atypical of the Oregon High Cascade platform. This variation, however, represents part of a continued pattern of late Pliocene and Pleistocene magmatic diver- sity in a local region that includes Middle Sister, South Sister, and Broken Top volcanoes. Regional and local geologic constraints combined with chemical and petrographic criteria indicate that a local subcrustal process probably produced the magmas extruded fromSouth Sister, whereas a regional subcrustal process probably producedthe magmas extruded from Sphinx Butte, The Wife, and The Husband.

  • Wilderness Permit System Implementation Frequently Asked Que Stions
    WILDERNESS PERMIT SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUE STIONS When are permits required? The Deschutes and Willamette NFs are implementing a wilderness permit system for the Mt. Jefferson, Mt Washington and Three Sisters wildernesses this year. In 2020 the season for wilderness permits will begin on May 22nd and end on September 25th. Every year the season will be from the Friday prior to Memorial Day to the last Friday in September. How do people get permits? All reservations for a limited entry permit need to be made through Recreation.gov either on-line, by calling, or by doing the reservation at one of the Willamette and Deschutes National Forests’ offices. We want to encourage people to take advantage of getting permits online – “go on-line, don’t stand in line.” Reservations for limited entry permits will open on Tuesday, April 7th at 7:00 a.m. Every year permit reservations will be available beginning the first Tuesday in April. There is a $1.00 processing charge for day-use permits per individual and a $6.00 processing charge for overnight-use permits per group. An overnight group can be from 1 to 12 people. The processing charge funds the operation of the reservation system, like processing charges for tickets through Ticketmaster or other reservation systems. Other than the processing fee, there are no other additional costs/fees associated with the limited entry permit. However, people should be aware that if a NW Forest Pass or day use permit is required at a trailhead, the wilderness permit does not cover that requirement.

Perkins, Chair Michael Cummings Kenneth Lite, Jr. Portland State University ©2011 Abstract McKinney Butte, a late Tertiary andesite vent and flow complex, is located near the town of Sisters, Oregon, in the upper Deschutes Basin, and is situated along the structural trend that forms the eastern margin of the High Cascades graben (Sisters fault zone and Green Ridge). Rapid development and over appropriated surface water resources in this area have led to an increased dependence upon groundwater resources. A primary concern of resource managers is the potential impact of expanding groundwater use on stream flows and spring discharge. Two sets of springs (McKinney Butte Springs and Camp Polk Springs) discharge to Whychus Creek along the east flank of McKinney Butte, and during low-flow conditions supply a substantial component of the total flow in the creek.
