There's Lots of Lava in Bend

One day, I went to check out the Deschutes River west of town. The river is surrounded by lava on both sides.

I walked by a cave that I'm sure someone lived in a long time ago.

The boaters had better take out before Dillon Falls -

The steam rising from the falls is just beautiful.

Looking downstream, at the massive amounts of lava.

Walking farther downstream, I came upon a nice lake.

On another day, I went out to Lava Lands, where there is a beautiful walk through the lava.

The dead tree sticking out of the lava looked like a dragon's head.

After that little walk, I walked up to Benham Falls on the Deschutes. Like I said before, Bend is one of my very favorite places. So much diversity!
