Central Oregon Road Trippin' - Part 2: Bend with Mooreheads/Dixons

After Waldo Lake, the boys and I checked out the bike park at Bachelor.  Just the kiddie zone.  That was fun for a few hrs.  

The Bridges came up and met up with us for the next few days.

I believe this is Tumalo Falls... that Shasta and I ran to, while the fam biked.  


Floating down the Deschutes...

Aaron had this crazy contraption...


We stayed with Lou Doo, Joel, & Mary pretty close to downtown.  We had some great walks into town to check out the sights.  

And some great morning runs.  Shasta at the tippy top of Pilot Butte with the Sisters in the background.

Then we went up to Smith Rock area and found some camping behind it.  This was during a morning run.

And we cruised over to Steelhead Falls which was a nice swimming hole.  

Grabbing food & brews at Sisters

Lots of snacks on this trip...

A quick visit to Sparks Lake... which was really really low... 

And there were leeches... 


I love the "canyoneering" at Sparks Lake.


Found a mtn bike feature in one of the neighborhoods in Bend.

More treats

And more... 

Joel got some too
