We hadn't anticipated snow flurries and views like this one when planning our driving route to cut across the northeast corner of California, but as it turned out, this is the only photo I snapped while in the state on this vacation. We drove 426 kilometres from Reno to Klamath Falls, where the "Link Trail" took us to the "Falls" and we visited Moore Park at Upper Klamath Lake. . | The best part of this stop was our very friendly airbnb host and watching the Warriors win on a HUGE screen with pizza and beer. |
Having failed to actually see the lake in 2014 when we visited in very foggy conditions, we were so happy to discover clear views. There was still 12 feet of snow so Rim Road and both alternate exits were closed. Tunnels had been constructed to allow access to the washrooms and main lodge. From Crater Lake, we continued to Bend, home to the last remaining Blockbuster video store and 22 breweries. We visited Silver Moon Brewing, Deschutes Brewery & Public House, Bend Brewing Company, and Bunk+Brew on our downtown walk. April 23rd, we drove 256 kilometres from Bend to Salem. Along the way, we enjoyed views of Oregon's snow capped peaks and Detroit Lake. On a beautiful sunny Saturday, we hiked the "Trail of Ten Falls" in Silver Falls State Park along with thousands of other people. This loop trail is fantastic, as it winds behind four of the ten waterfalls. Our Salem airbnb was perfectly located for a walk through Willamette University's campus, past the State Capitol, to Riverfront City Park. We ended up walking 18 kilometres in one day. On the 24th, we completed the Oregon portion of our trip with a visit to Cannon Beach and its famous "Haystack" rock formation.
