Eighty-two-mile scenic byway offering the best foliage in the state.
We did the McKenzie Pass route out of Sisters on our way to Florence. Though the smoke from wildfires was evident, the view of the Three Sisters was still amazing. Our first stop was the Dee Wright Observatory that offered a panoramic of the Cascades and the lava field. There is an a path into the lava field with many informational signs that should not be passed up. Continuing on we enjoyed the view from Belknap Viewpoint. The last stop before we exited the loop was Proxy Falls where we hike a part of the trail, but my knees started to give out so we never reached the falls.

Smith Rock State Park is beautiful and has activities for all ages and skill levels. It’s well-known for its rock climbing and you’ll see lots of folks with ropes heading for the rocks. There’s a diversity of hikes, including the moderately difficult Misery Trail or the nicer stroll along the river along another well-maintained trail. I did the Misery Trail that connected with the river trail, about 5 mile loop.

Surrounded by a huge lava flow, the Dee Wright Observatory was constructed in 1935 by Civilian Conservation from lava rocks. It is an observatory to view the Cascade peaks from the summit of McKenzie Pass - where you can see the three Sisters, Mount Washington, Mount Jefferson and on clear day, Mount Hood. Route 242 is closed during the winter and opens to automobiles in the spring when snow removal is complete. A great way to see the Cascade peaks in the spring is by cycling route 242 to the observatory in the weeks leading up to the opening when you can go by bicycle but not by automobile. It's a stunning, easy ride from Sisters without any traffic. So if you are in Central Oregon in the spring I highly recommend this beautiful and scenic ride.

I had the pleasure to visit these 2 falls during a weekend visit to the area. The walk is short. Only about 2 miles but the 2 waterfalls were great. The river runs right by the path so you can get up close and personal. Great pictures as well. It is also a free parking area. A must if your in the area. Just be aware there is no cell service there.

Had a delightful visit at the Crescent Moon Ranch. Owner is a very friendly and accommodating host, and his animals are delightful! We had a great visit as a rest stop on a drive from Bend to Portland. Families with children will love this place, free, small price for "food," some very nice gifts but the Ranch and animals are a real treat for all ages!

Venture into the deeper meaning of life and explore another realm of possibilities. Drawing and Oil Painting classes for both Beginners and Advanced available. Call to reserve time and date.
It was during our leisurely walk during our visit at Eagle Crest in Oregon that my husband and I found this Jewel of a gallery. The Gallery of Alfred Dolezal. We totally enjoyed his amazing work as well as the reflections that went with each art. Treat yourself and stop by the gallery and enjoy his collection. Bella and Tommy

The grounds are used for weddings and are landscaped beautifully. Another option would to bring a lunch and buy a bottle of wine.

The trail is less crowded (also more rustic, and longer) than the trail at Koosah/Shallie Falls. Loved the thousands of butterflies fluttering around in the sunny mist. My Keen water shoes were perfect for the rough terrain and allowed me to slosh through the freezing cold water as well (optional). From what I have heard the amount of water varies, so the falls can be more and less spectacular depending on when you go.
