We took about a week to drive through central OR. We spent a few days in Bend, OR and exploring the surrounding area. It rained about everyday we were in Oregon, which made exploring interesting! We hiked to the Tamolitch Blue Pool. The stunningly clear and blue water of this pool are the result of a river going underground, which was formed by lava flow 1,600 years ago. Another highlight out of Bend was skiing Mt. Bachelor. Luckily it was snowing at the ski area, but it made for no views of the volcanoes in the area! Once we made it to southern OR, the rainy weather slowed and we were able to watch thousands of birds on their migration routes! Next stop, California!
