Really enjoyed our time in the Bend/Sun River, Oregon area. Only spent a little bit of time there, but it was enough to make me want to come back. The drive from Portland is amazing, progressing along the Columbia River, up to Mt Hood, then through the high desert. Lots of different landscapes to be seen in just a few hours. There will be more photos from the drive posted at a later date.
Once we got in we decided to do some hiking. This is the first of the two hikes we did; a 7+ mile saunter up to and through a desolate lava flow, surrounded by The Sisters (two of the peaks shown), and some of the other Cascades. Hiking over volcanic rocks is a bit uncomfortable, as its similar to poorly packed gravel. Lots of minor slips, but no major falls. We went to a short peak, around 6,000+ ft, had a couple apples, took some photos, and went for a massive Western style breakfast. Good times.
