Central Oregon Video Compilation

Here's a video showing assorted scenes throughout Central Oregon:

Driving Journey: Day 3: Rogue River Gorge

After leaving Crater Lake I headed West on Hwy 62 toward I-5. One stop along the way was at the Rogue River Gorge. It reminded me a lot of places I had seen in North Vancouver before.

Driving Journey: Day 2: Diamond Lake & Highway

By the time I got past the Cascade Lakes Highway it was after 3pm and I decided to leave Crater Lake for the following day. So instead I briefly visited Diamond Lake, which is immediately north of it.



Then I took the West Diamond Lake Highway around the western side of Crater Lake. I came across this small river which the photos simply don't do justice to. Just imagine a perfect day with warm, though not hot, weather, blue skies with a few clouds, and this scenery abound. Magnificent!




Then, before heading down Hwy 62 to Klamath Falls, I took another side road to capture this overview of the Umpqua National Forest.

Driving Journey: Day 1: Bend, Oregon

I stayed overnight in Bend. It's a lovely little community with a great number of fantastic restaurants and microbreweries.

Driving Trip: Day 1: Washington State

Having never driven through central Oregon before, that was one of my goals for this trip. To get there I first had to head down to Yakima, Washington in order to link up with Highway 97.
