More from Dee Wright Observatory and the lava fields

[dr-julius-sumner-miller]

This morning I woke up with the sunrise at Dee Wright Observatory. Built in 1927, it is a viewpoint for a bunch of the nearby mountains.

Surrounding it are miles of lava rock fields - a rolling sea of boulders and split plateaus of stone. As the molten rock cooled, gases released themselves forming little tubes in all of the stone, and flows of magma contracted and split apart, forming crevasses across the landscape. In one photo, there are two “islands” of forest that the lava flowed around in its flow across the landscape. A plaque I read said that this area is one of the youngest lava flows in the country - having occurred about 2,700 years ago.

I had a nice time clambering around those rocks this morning. I sort of felt like I was on a different planet. It’s wild to imagine the folks who were wagoning their way through this area - shifting stones to make a way, probably busting their wheels left and right.
