Sorry for the late post but we seem to be exhausted at the end of the day.
Yesterday we started with a beautiful walk along the Deschutes river in Bend and discovered some interesting wildlife. 🙂
We then left Bend to explore the Smith Rock State Park and it’s the amazing climbing walls.
After so much walking we stopped at a local pub in Madras and got to know the local community. We then made our way through Warm Spring Reservation towards Mt. Hood. Sadly the weather did not play nice with us and we could only see Mt. Hood from afar.
We drove through Rhododendron-Land where we saw wall to wall Rhododenron. We stopped at Boring Winery where we discovered from our own research that Pino Grigio and Pino Gris come from the same grape but taste differently. 🙂
In the late afternoon we made it to Portland and found a hotel with a library of 3000 books. We enjoyed some sushi for dinner before we crashed.
A new day today to explore Portland before setting off to Seattle with a stop at Mount St. Helens volcano.

Dear Majo and Caroline
I am reading your travel report with interest. Very nice nature.
For a non local and to get a sense about your trip: Do you have a map with a marked route?

Hi Armin, nice to read that you’re following our trip! Unfortunately we don’t have a map of our tour available. At least the home page lists the locations.
