Crack-in-the-Ground Trail

08/31/22

Super cool trail! The kids love exploring and going through the crack in the ground. Some areas you have to come out and go around unless you want to rock climb. The road to it makes you think you are going the wrong way… you’re not. It’s very bumpy and washboarded but I promise if you keep following the road you see the parking area! Bring a light jacket as the temperature drops a lot down in the crack

Explore Fort Rock State Park

There's a great beginners hike inside the rock crater itself, and if you drive on the dirt road on the south side of the rock you can get to some great vista points and photography spots.This is great during the day or night (amazing starry views on clear nights), and you can get here any time of year, although Spring, Summer, and Fall are the best.Getting there: From La Pine, head east on Hwy ...

Explore Glass Butte

Glass Butte was amazing, yet difficult to get there. The best advice I have is to commit to the dirt road until it stops, which will take you to a fence line (you can go left or you can continue right to go up the mountain). That is where we camped, which toward the left is private property and you will start entering territory that locals own mining rights for agates (would not advise going th...

Camp and Fish on East Lake

East Lake is located in a very scenic part of Central Oregon about 30 miles East of the town of La Pine. At 6,400 feet in elevation, the lake is fed by snowmelt and underground springs. East Lake is know for it's trophy Brown Trout, Kokanee, Rainbow Trout and Atlantic Salmon. Because of the deep weed beds and incredible hatches, it's also known as one of the best fly fishing lakes in Oregon. T...

Hike to Paulina Lake Hot Springs

Starting at Little Crater Campground, head north toward the hot springs (43.730, -121.247). If you're really looking to stretch your legs, you can extend the out-and-back hike to a full loop around the lake just shy of 8 miles. The water in the springs is around 95 degrees, and doesn't smell of sulfur. You can even dig your own spring on the North Beach.

MTB the Crater Rim Trail

Paulina Peak with an elevation of 7,984 feet, and is about 4,000 feet higher than the terrain surrounding the volcano. There is a gravel fire road that winds to the top. This is a grueling climb with an 8000 foot elevation. Air please!The trail head starts about 1000 feet from the peak. It is a pretty tight singletrack for approximately 19 miles. The end of the trail dumps you right in the park...

Hike up Paulina Peak

Distance: 6 miles, out-and-back (Can also be done as a 12 mile loop via Crater Rim Trail). Starting at Paulina Lake, just past the Visitor Center lies a marked trailhead for Paulina Peak. The trail starts close to the road and winds through the forest around the back of some lake maintenance facilities for the first 0.25 miles. After 1 mile you will come to the junction of Paulina Peak Road an...
