Road Trip to Oregon

This was our 3rd annual road trip to Oregon...I think we can now officially call it a tradition. We spent the first few days along the coast in the small village of Neskowin with Oneea's family. We celebrated Gma Jane's birthday, played lots of beach volleyball, and let Alex get lots of love and attention from the ladies in the family. After 4 days along the coast, we headed inland where we spent 2 days in Corvallis, 2 days in Sisters, and 3 days in Mitchell. Along the way, we visited some of our favorite places, and even found time to see a few new places. Hope you enjoy!

    Mt Bachelor from the Cascades Lake Highway. This is a great drive with lots of scenery throughout. We started in Bend with a stop at the Original Pancake House (gotta try the Strawberry Crepes) and then headed up the highway. Along the way, we stopped at Sparks Lake for a hike, and then just pulled over on the side of the road a few times. We ended the day by completing the loop through Sunriver and then back to Sisters for some fish and chips at the Gallery. This part of Oregon  is quickly becoming my favorite.
    South Sister from Tam McArthur Ridge.jpg
    Just outside of Sisters, Oregon lies one of the great hikes in Oregon. The trail is called Tam McArthur Ridge  and is just a quick 30 minute drive from downtown Sisters. I woke up early to hit the trail and hike up the Ridge and try to summit Broken Hand Peak. It was a beautiful morning, and I had the trail all to myself when I started hiking at 6:30am. It took me about 3 hours to get to my final point, which was near the base of Broken Top Mountain and where I took this picture. The scenery from this point was unreal..Mt Bachelor, Broken Top and the 3 Sisters are all in clear view. In addition, there were several lakes, lots of snowfields and even a few glaciers in plain view. Definitely a great hike that was worthy of another visit someday.
