Diamond Craters-Multiple Explosion Crater

The Diamond Craters Multiple Explosion Crater is a fascinating natural wonder located in the southeastern region of Oregon, within the Donner Und Blitzen watershed. The site is characterized by a series of volcanic craters formed through explosive volcanic activity that occurred about 7,000 years ago. The craters are well-preserved and provide a glimpse into the geological history of the region. There are at least 25 craters, ranging in size from 20 to 1,200 feet in diameter. The largest of these craters, called the Big Hole, is over 500 feet deep. The area is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including sagebrush, mule deer, and antelope.

There are several good reasons to visit the Diamond Craters Multiple Explosion Crater. The site offers a unique opportunity to explore an ancient volcanic landscape that is not often seen elsewhere. Visitors can hike around the craters, observe the unique geologic formations, and learn about the history of the area. Additionally, the site is a popular destination for birdwatchers, as it is home to a variety of bird species, including sage-grouse, bald eagles, and prairie falcons. Overall, the Diamond Craters Multiple Explosion Crater is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in geology, history, and nature.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
