Paulina Lakeside Loop

I thought I might to try and drive 'up' to get out of the smoke. I drove up to Newberry Crater south of Bend. I was smoky as I drove up but broke out of the smoke just as I neared the top and had great blue sky!

I did and 8 mile hike around the perimeter of Paulina Lake (1 of 2 lakes in the crater). It was great to get out after being cooped up in the house this whole week.

The pictures of me in the water are natural hot spring along the shore of the lake.
