Breathtakingly unreal, this hike at times seems like it's right out of a scene from Lord of The Rings. If you slow down long enough to be fully present, in the moment, it can feel as if the whole world has almost stopped moving, the only sounds being the trickling water flowing over moss covered rocks.
Currently closed due to post-fire hazards and unstable conditions. Check Area Status at www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/crgnsa/recarea/?recid=29960 before you set out for all gorge hikes.

Once a majestic waterfall, the McKenzie River has changed course and gone underground a few miles up stream. The river only flows over the falls a few times a year, the rest if the time the water emerges from the rocks underwater in the basin of waterfall pool.

The summit of Paulina Peak with an elevation of 7,984 feet, is the highest point on the Newberry Volcano. This site offers a grand overview of the Newberry Caldera, the south and west flanks of the Newberry Volcano, the Cascades, the Fort Rock Basin, and much of central Oregon. On a clear day, the Cascade Range is visible extending into California (Mt. Shasta) and Washington (Mt. Adams).
