It’s a straight shot up Paulina Creek, starting at about 4300 feet to the edge of the caldera at 6300 feet.

This one-way profile from Ogden Group Camp to Paulina Lake is deceiving. Although you will cover over 2000 feet of uphill, it’s gradual and never feels like a big climb.

The Big Obsidian Flow is spectacular and worth the extra time if you’re driving up from the start of the hike at Ogden Group Campground.

If you have extra time, plan on doing some sightseeing around the caldera. You can easily hit the beaches , the Big Obsidian Flow , and a food joint after doing this hike.

You’ll see a trailhead sign on the east side of the lot-park around here.
