We headed to Bend, OR from Salt Lake City, after our plane trip to NJ in early May for Dr. visits, visiting relatives and kids, and a trip to the NJ Sculpture Garden. Bend is a bit confusing to get around, at least it was for us. Luckily some people we met in Bryce Canyon NP were able to help us out. We took the scenic Cascade Lakes Scenic auto tour, rated one of the top rides in the US, we visited beautiful Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the US, and took in Smith Rocks, a unique (what isn't out here!) place for climbers and tourists.
Note : Google introduced Google Photos in the middle of my compiling this. I am not happy with the changed photo order in my albums, among other things, so I will continue to use the old Google+ photos until Google takes it away. I will include both the new and the old shared links, so you can decide which you like better.
