Full-time RVers traveling the U.S. with our Bengal Cat Ramsey

๐Ÿ“ Tamolitch Blue Pool via McKenzie River Trail ๐Ÿ“ Tamolitch Blue Pool via McKenzie River Trail (Part 2)
๐Ÿ“Œ Blue River, Oregon (62 miles NW of Bend)
๐ŸŽฅ Check out the video at the end! 
โœ… Add this unique trail with a stunning blue pool at the end!
๐ŸŒŸ We love finding unique trails like this.
๐Ÿ’งThe hike to the pool is very green and lush.  There's moss and ferns all over.
๐Ÿšถ 3.9  mile out-and-back 551 ft. elevation gain rated as Moderate. We hiked down to the water and it ended up being about 5 miles.
๐Ÿ‘ The Blue Poolโ€™s water is very cold, around 40 degrees. You can try wading or swimming if the cold doesnโ€™t dissuade you. Just be aware of the hypothermia risk, even on hot days.

๐Ÿ“ Tamolitch Blue Pool via McKenzie River Trail ๐Ÿ“ Tamolitch Blue Pool via McKenzie River Trail (Part1)
๐Ÿ“Œ Blue River, Oregon (62 miles NW of Bend)
๐Ÿ“น Check out the video at the end of this magical unique trail! 
โœ… Add this stunning and unique hike to your list. 
๐ŸŒŸ This was our favorite trail in the area. 
๐Ÿ’ง The Tamolitch Blue Pool's vibrant blue color is due to a combination of factors: the pool's clarity, the way it filters light, and the cold-water temperature. The pool is fed by underground springs that seep through porous lava rock, creating a natural filtration system that removes sediment and debris. This, combined with the cold water (around 37ยฐF).
๐Ÿšถ 3.9  mile out-and-back 551 ft. elevation gain rated as Moderate. We hiked down to the water and it ended up being about 5 miles.
โœจ It's a very popular hike.  We did it on a weekday and it was pretty busy. 
๐Ÿ‘ Make sure to hike down to the water. ๐Ÿ‘™ If you're brave enough and don't mind cold water, you can jump in.  We saw several people jump in but the water is so cold they got out of the water right away. ๐Ÿซ˜ There are several places to hang out by the blue water to take a rest and have a snack before heading back up.

๐Ÿ“ Tumalo Creek and Shevlin Loop ๐Ÿ“Œ Bend, Oreg ๐Ÿ“ Tumalo Creek and Shevlin Loop
๐Ÿ“Œ Bend, Oregon 
๐ŸŽฅ Check out the 2 videos at the end. 1 of the trail and the other of the Botta's Pocket Gopher! 
๐Ÿšถ 4.7 mile loop with 291 ft. elevation gain rated as Moderate.
๐ŸŒฑ At the beginning of the trail, we noticed a small hole. Out popped a Botta's Pocket Gopher. It didn't mind our presence and it kept eating grass. 
๐ŸฆŒ Towards the end of the trail we came across a deer that was laying in the cave to keep out of the afternoon sun. 
๐Ÿ‘ Bend, Oregon boasts a vast network of trails, with hundreds of miles of options for hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities. Within the city limits alone, you'll find almost 70 miles of urban trails.

โ“ Have you visited Crater Lake National Park?
๐Ÿ“ Crater Lake National Park (Part 2)
๐Ÿ“Œ Crater Lake, Oregon
๐ŸŽฅ Check out the video at the end of this stunning National Park!
โฌ‡๏ธ Make sure to read below about upcoming boat tours! 
โœ… Add this stunning National Park to your list to visit. This is one of our favorite National Parks! 
๐ŸŒ„ Crater Lake formed when the volcano Mount Mazama erupted violently about 7,700 years ago, causing the summit to collapse into a large depression called a caldera. Over time, rain and snow filled the caldera, creating the lake we see today. 
๐Ÿ›ฅ There are 3 different boat tours available: Standard Lake Cruise (2 hours), Wizard Island Shuttle (3 Hours), Wizard Island Tours (5 hours).
๐Ÿ“… Boat Tours begin July 7th to September 14th. 
๐Ÿšซ There will be no boat tours at Crater Lake in 2026, 2027, and 2028 due to construction and rehabilitation of the Cleetwood Cove Trail.
๐Ÿ‘ "Tickets can be purchased in advance online and additional tickets become available 24 hours in advance of the scheduled tour. Same-day ticket sales can be purchased up to two hours before departure at the Mazama Village Cabin/Campground Registration Desk, Crater Lake Lodge Front Desk and at the Cleetwood Cove Kiosk."

๐Ÿ“Œ Crater Lake, Oregon
๐ŸŽฅ Check out the video at the end to see our drive in Crater to see all the snow!
โœ… A must-visit majestic National Park.  It's hard to put in words to describe how beautiful Crater lake is. Quite possibly the most serene, tranquil, and naturally glorious place we've ever seen.
๐ŸŒŸ Seeing Crater Lake has been on our list to see for a long time.  The only way to explain the water color is "Bluer than blue." Looking over Crater Lake might be the single greatest view in the National Park System. 
๐Ÿš— As of early June, there is limited access (several roads still closed due to snow dangers - north entrance) 
โœจ While we were there, we saw a lot of California Tortoiseshell butterflies. 
๐Ÿ“ผ We watched the informative short 22 minute documentary on the creation of Crater Lake at the visitor center.
๐Ÿ” We wanted to see crater lake with snow, and there was lots of snow on the south end. 
๐Ÿ›ฅ The boat ride is not up and running yet so we will be making a second stop at Crater in September.  We look forward to taking the boat ride and hiking the numerous trails. 
๐Ÿ‘ We would highly recommend seeing Crater Lake when there is snow. Plus it wasn't that busy compared to later in the season.

๐Ÿ“ Newberry National Volcanic Monument ๐Ÿ“Œ Bend ๐Ÿ“ Newberry National Volcanic Monument
๐Ÿ“Œ Bend, Oregon (11 miles south of Bend)
๐Ÿ“น Check out the video at the end to see this unique trail! 
โœ… A must-visit for nature lovers, geology enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a unique outdoor adventure.
๐Ÿšถ Trail of the Molten Land 3922 is a 1.2 mile loop rated as easy.
๐ŸŒŸ Super unique trail, gorgeous grounds and a great visitor center. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with breathtaking views and an overwhelming sense of awe at the vastness of this ancient landscape. The combination of lava flows, obsidian cliffs, and serene lakes creates a unique experience that blends adventure with tranquility.
๐Ÿš— By taking a right turn at the visitor center you can drive up to Lava Butte Lookout. There is a working fire lookout atop Lava Bute and the elevation is 5500' elevation. Lava Butte Lookout offers breathtaking panoramic views of Central Oregon's volcanic landscape.  The summit provides a clear view of lava fields, snow-capped mountains, and the surrounding forest. The interpretive signs along the way add a nice educational touch, explaining the area's geological history. 
๐Ÿ’ฐ $5 per vehicle per day
๐Ÿ“… Itinerary: Lava Cave, Newberry National Volcanic Monument visitor center, Trail of the Molten Land and Lava Butte Lookout.

๐Ÿ˜„ Happy Waterfall Wednesday! ๐ŸŽฅ Check out the ๐Ÿ˜„ Happy Waterfall Wednesday!
๐ŸŽฅ Check out the video of both waterfalls at the end!
๐Ÿ“ Tumalo Falls and Double Falls
๐Ÿ“Œ Bend, Oregon (14 miles west of Bend)
โœ… If you are in Bend, Oregon add this trail to your list. 2 waterfalls on this trail.
๐Ÿšถ 2 mile out and back 324 ft. elevation gain rated as easy.
๐Ÿ’ฆ Tumalo Falls is a 97-foot waterfall that cascades down a dramatic cliff face in the heart of the Deschutes National Forest.
๐Ÿ’ฐ Parking is limited. $5 entrance fees.
๐Ÿš— Up by the second waterfall we found a patch of snow with a matchbox car on it.  We figured it would make for a unique picture. 
โ„๏ธ RaeLynn picked up some snow and threw it for a picture. ๐Ÿคฃ She was trying to miss Buck, but it hit his leg...or maybe she didn't try to miss. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
โœจ The trail was easy and relatively quick with beautiful views throughout. There were multiple water access points too! The overlooks offered nice views of the falls.
๐Ÿ‘ It's worth hiking up to the second waterfall.  Most of the people we saw came to look only at the first waterfall.

โ“Would you walk a mile into a cave? ๐Ÿ“ Lava Ri โ“Would you walk a mile into a cave?
๐Ÿ“ Lava River Cave
๐Ÿ“Œ Bend, Oregon (13 miles south of Bend)
๐Ÿ“น Check out the video at the end of us walking through the cave! 
โœ… Add this unique cave to your list of adventures. 
๐Ÿšถ 2.2 miles roundtrip.
๐ŸŒŸThe cave was one of the first lava tubes to be discovered in Oregon and is the longest one in the state. The Lava River Cave is part of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument.
๐Ÿ”ฆ We opted to rent flashlight for $7 as they say a cellphone flashlight isn't nearly powerful enough. 
๐ŸŽŸ $5 for a recreation pass.
๐Ÿš— Timed Reservation Ticket needs to be purchased for $2.00 (Tickets are 1 per vehicle, not per person.) Total for 2 people was $14. 
๐Ÿฆ‡ You probably won't see any bats, but it's awesome to walk a mile into a pitch black cave. 
โœจBe Prepared:  Self-guided exploration over 180 stairs and uneven terrain.  Pitch black, bring or rent a flashlight. 
๐Ÿ‘ Dress warmly!  The cave is 42 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. If no one is around it's neat to shut the flashlight off and experience total darkness. โ€It was pretty cool experience.

โœจ Beautiful in town hike along the river. Super easy well maintained and loved trail along the Deschutes River. Dog friendly, mountain bike friendly and family friendly. Connects with the Mill District and Farewell Bend Park.
๐Ÿ‘ We haven't been out hiking for a while so this was a great trail to start out on when staying in Bend.
