Take a hike along a forested ridge near this iconic volcano. You’ll hike through forest left untouched by the violent 1980 eruption, including a patch of old growth forest with large hemlock and fir trees draped with lichens. At our turn around point we’ll be in the historic blast zone and see trees killed by superheated gas released during the mountain’s last major awakening. *If the weather is bad, this trip will go east, to the Klickitat River Gorge for a great hike in the (usually) drier rainshadow of the Cascades.

Situated at the base of 10,000 foot-high Steens Mountain, this sunny desert gets only seven inches of rain per year. Hot springs, mud pots, and other geothermal wonders abound 400 miles S.E. of Portland.

Stay in yurts near the trendy town of Bend and paddle down the Deschutes River on stand-up paddleboards. The river meanders through the region, and paddlers will encounter nominal class 1 riffles (class 1 means there is current, but no significant rapids). You definitely want to have some upper body strength to do this trip but don’t need to be an experienced “stand-up paddler”. It’s a plus if you’ve been canoeing or kayaking before. This side of the Oregon Cascades usually has great, sunny, fall weather, and the mountain scenery you’ll see while paddling is spectacular.
