I don't know what is more impressive - views of nature or watching rock climbers scale cliff walls! Bring water and you can have your pick of different trails (difficulty scale is accurate).

We have vacationed in the Sisters area a couple times over the recent years and included this hike on our itineraries. Our friends actually hired a limosine the first time we went there as we were all on bicycles and without cars. We went back this summer because it's close to Sisters, it's an easy hike for a rest day off the bike and the scenery and falls are beautiful.

Our main attraction is whitewater rafting on the Upper Deschutes through Big Eddy rapids. This trip is approximately 90 minutes round trip with an hour spent floating and navigating the rapids of Big Eddy! In 3 miles you will encounter two class 1, two class 2 and five class 3 rapids! This trip is suitable for all skill levels from age 6 and up. We take photos in the class 3 section and are available for purchase as a memento of your trip. We also offer Stand Up Paddle Board tours which explore the calm waters of the Upper Deschutes River. These guided tours are a great way to learn about the geology while seeing places that are not frequently traveled. In the winter season the resort property is transformed into a winter wonderland that features an ice skating rink that is open to the public.

Wide open park and river space (was there during beer fest!)...float down the river, surf on rapids and miles of walkways, with plenty of restaurants, pubs, shops and other distractions. Everyone seemed to have a great time...as did we!

You can never go wrong with a drive to East Lake! It's beauty never disappoints. In late spring you'll see remnant's of ice and snow with a cold crisp wind blowing over the lake. In early fall it's mild and beautiful. In summer it's just plain gorgeous!

Take the whole day and don’t miss a thing! We went to the lava fields first (caves were closed due to COVID) - an easy paved path throughout with plenty of view points and info placards along the way for a self-guided tour. Getting to the top requires some uphill walking, but not too steep. Next up was the Obsidian Flow - DO NOT MISS THIS! Unbelievable, and the perfect follow up to the rough textured pumice from the lava fields. The Obsidian Flow trail is more rugged than the lava fields, so wear sturdy shoes (no flip flops!). You can view from the bottom of the hill, but if you are able, you can get a gorgeous view from half way up via a railed staircase. There are benches to sit down and take it all in. And if you’ve got some stability and healthy knees/ankles, you can climb even higher via a worn rough path through the rocks. The view is SPECTACULAR up there, and its a bit like walking on another planet, with black glass rocks all around. Literally, awesome! Lastly, we ended our day by driving to the peak of Paulina. WOW - a winding drive on a sometimes narrowing road, but so worth it! I thought the view at Timberline Lodge was good, this is BEYOND. 360 degree views from 8000 ft. Additionally, incredible foliage, random obsidian, and petrified wood abound. No hiking required but there are a few paths from the parking lot if you’re adventurous and want to get a little closer to the edge!
