A view of the Belknap Crater lava flow as seen from Dee Wright Observatory. Scattered across 40 square miles of lava flow are a occasional trees, many of which have succumb to the harsh volcanic environment. The last eruption of Belknap Crater occurred 1521 years ago, in the year 480 AD, and only now has the forest been able to rebuild itself to this modest degree. But this is but a blink of time in the geologic history of Oregon’s High Cascades, and before long, the forest will have fully returned. Deschutes National Forest, Oregon Central Cascades.
