Natural Wonders
Crack in the Ground
A fissure that formed between cooling lava flows about 1100 years ago. The
fissure is about 2 miles long and 70 feet deep. The length of the fissure can be
hiked, as there is an established trail along the fissure's bottom. Normally,
fissures like this one are filled in with soil and rock by the processes of
erosion and sedimentation, but because Crack in the Ground is located in such an
arid region, barely any filling has occurred. As a result, Crack in the Ground
exists today nearly as it did shortly after its formation. When you get there it
is easy to cool off, as the bottom of the crack can be as much as twenty degrees
below the surface temperature.
Derrick Cave
A lava tube 30 feet high, 50 feet wide and 1/4 mile long. The ceiling has
collapsed in two places; one providing foot access into the cave and the other
forming a "skylight" for the cave. (Near Crack In The Ground.)
Devil's Garden Wilderness Study Area
Includes two spatter cones know as "The Blowouts" and are interesting volcanic
features right alongside the road leading to Derrick Cave and Ice Cave.
Lake Chewaucan Lake Bed
200 feet deep, 2000 years ago.

One and a half miles north of Lakeview. Old Perpetual Geyser erupts 60 feet into
the air about every 90 seconds.
