This document summarizes several places to visit in Lake County, Oregon. It describes Fort Rock as a large basaltic geological formation estimated to have formed 50,000-100,000 years ago. Crack in the Ground is described as a two-mile long volcanic fissure up to 70 feet deep. Abert Rim is the largest fault-block in the Western Hemisphere, nearly 2,500 feet tall and running over 30 miles. Lake Abert is noted as the second saltiest lake in the US. The town of Lakeview rests below the extinct volcano Black Cap.

Virtual Tour

2. This is a tour of cool places to visit within Lake
County, Oregon. This is in the southeastern part of
the state, east of Klamath Falls. I am from the
town of Lakeview and I think that this area is
pretty cool.

3. Fort Rock

4. Based on the Google Earth
photo, are the walls of Fort
Rock small, medium, or large?

5. •Fort rock is a geologic formation made from
basaltic lava pushing up on the bottom of a
muddy lake bed. Scientists estimate that it
was formed 50,000 to 100,000 years ago.
The ring is almost 5,000 feet in diameter
and the walls rise up almost 200 feet.

6. Crack in the Ground

7. •In relation to the road on the right,
about how wide is Crack in the
Ground? Smaller than the road,
bigger than the road, or about the
same size?

8. Crack in the ground is a volcanic fissure that can be
up to 70 feet deep and runs for a full two miles!

9. Abert Rim

10. •Based on the surrounding crop
circles, is Abert Rim very large?
Is it very tall?

11. Abert Rim is the largest fault-block in the Western
Hemisphere! It is almost 2,500 feet tall and runs
for over 30 miles. It is also the largest exposed
fault scarp in North America. Abert Rim from the Top

12. Lake Abert

13. •What is significant about Abert Lake,
besides the fact that it is a body of
water?

14. Abert Lake, right below Abert Rim, is tied for the
second saltiest lake in the United States. What is
the other lake?

15. Black Cap and the town of Lakeview

16. •The town of Lakeview rests beneath
the extinct shield volcano called
Black Cap (hill with L on it). How
would you feel living next to a
volcano, even if they told you it was
extinct?

17. A countryside view of some buildings and the
surrounding mountains.
