After exploring Smith Rock we will stop for lunch in the town of Sisters, Oregon. This friendly little outpost in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains draws visitors for its profound natural beauty as well as annual celebrations. This trip lasts about 8 hours and costs $350.00.
After your afternoon in Sisters we will drive you back to your hotel in Bend with a stop at magnificent Petersen Rock Garden & Museum. Petersen Rock Garden is one of those roadside attractions that defies description. The garden started in 1935 as the pet project of Danish immigrant Rasmus Petersen. Petersen set about creating castles with moats, fountains, towers, bridges, even miniature models of famous buildings like the Statue of Liberty, all built from rocks, shells, bits of glass, and other found objects.
Start your day off with a hike at Smith Rock State Park! Upon our arrival at the park you will enjoy a wonderful hike along the Crooked River. As we hike along this family friendly trail don’t be surprised if you see River Otters swimming in the river, or Golden Eagles nesting in the cliff faces. You will also see rock climber scaling the faces of the cliffs and climbing Monkey Face!
