Hiking Through Central Oregon

Hiking Through Central Oregon

If you happen to land in the heart of Oregon, you owe it to yourself to explore the landscape.

Central Oregon’s beauty is in a league of its own. It is incomparable to any of the other 21-states I have visited.

Needless to say, I’ve been itching to go back ever since.

Health and wellness are the foundation for Central Oregon’s culture. The area emphasizes the value of being active – whether you’re a biker, a dog-owner, a runner, hiker, or a fisher, there’s something for everyone.

Out of all the trails I covered in this article: Pilot Butte, Smith Rock, Tumalo Falls, Lava River Cave, and Deschutes River, I highly recommend paying a visit to Smith Rock, Tumalo Falls, and Deschutes River.

I also recommend renting a boat for the day on Lake Billy Chinook or paying a visit to a local alpaca ranch, such as the Crescent Moon Ranch in Terrebonne.
