Miles of trail on the Deschutes National Forest
Any trip to Central Oregon needs to include an excursion into the Deschutes Nat’l Forest. Whatever the time of year there is always something to explore.
This is a huge State treasure and a must see for anyone visiting the area. You cannot absorb the grandeur in one trip.
I could spend all day here. There’s tons to look at, beautiful walks/hikes, great for picnicking with the family.
