If you're heading south to Cali, Crater Lake, Bend, or beyond, the route through Warm Springs…read moreIndian Reservation is a must-do. This is one of my favorite "long" drives ever, and I get to do it fairly often as I head to the environs of Mt. Bachelor to visit my multitude of siblings in the high desert of Central Oregon. Warm Springs Indian Reservation greets me with dense conifers at the 45th parallel as I descend the flanks of Mt. Hood. I gradually wind my way into open rangeland and the scent in the air transforms from evergreen to juniper and sage. Evidence of past wildfires makes itself immediately apparant; it is here that a huge one jumped the road, and left a wasteland of blackened stumps in its path. Before I have the chance to get bored by the seemingly never ending open range, I am met with spectacular canyons, carved for eons by water that seems much less prominent now than it once was. The temperatures rise precipitously here in summer; when my skin gets damp with sweat, I know I have arrived. In a hurry to get to my final destination, I rush past the Warm Springs Indian Museum, but I am told by friends that it is worth making a stop for--at least once, if not more. In the deepest part of the valley, the Deschutes River rises up to meet the road with fly fishing riffles and small rapids made for a fun float down river. The spectacular scenery isn't over; as my little car chugs back up out of the canyon, I eagerly anticipate the views to come: of Black Butte, Mt. Jefferson, the Three Sisters, Broken Top, Mt. Bachelor, and Smith Rock. For all these reasons and more, I love this drive and feel that it is something everyone would be thankful to see in their lifetime. The high desert may not be for you, but you cannot deny the grandeur of this awesome display of nature.

First off, so much fun!! There isn't anything like them in the area so we had to give it a try…read more Affordable and the owners are super easy going and good humored. My nine and thirteen year olds worked the bikes with no problems and they zip around the water in the beautiful central Oregon sunshine easy peasy. Watched osprey fishing and enjoyed a beautiful view of the volcanoes. It's only as hard of a workout as you want to make it. Would definitely recommend reserving them ahead of time because this is one of those new things that's going to get very popular.

It's been great to experience BL as a kid camper myself and now a parent of a camper. We're really going to try to make a family camp happen next summer. My son couldn't say enough how much fun he had and the great people he really enjoyed meeting. They have every activity you could possibly think of, and there's so much warmth and joy around you just feel awesome. You do not have to be religious to attend this camp..the religious themes they sprinkle throughout camp are light and joyful. You really just feel like you're with a great, wholesome group of people who have your back, care about you, and are there to support you and have fun. This is our family's forever camp for generations.

Comfortable waders and nice rigs! Matt spent time with each one of us, giving tips, changing lures, adjusting our indicators, and showing us where to fish the river. By the end, Matt's knowledge of the river landed each one of us at least one fish with 2 member of our group landing three fish each! It was a wonderful early spring fishing trip, a very premium experience, and a great lunch to boot! Will definitely be back to book again!

We had a great time camping! The sites are clean, shady and perfect getaway! We will be back soon!read more

You can't beat the views at the Crooked River Ranch Cabins! I was lucky enough to have an end cabin…read moreso got an unobstructed view and it was a real treat after a long day on the road. Check-in and check-out were easy, the employee I spoke with on the phone (a few weeks ahead of time when I had a question) was friendly and helpful, and the cabin was clean and quiet. For one person I would say the cabins are a perfect fit. They have a tiny home feel to them which might feel a little close for two people unless those two people really like each other. There's a well-maintained lawn and gazebo as well as chairs on the cabin deck which help things feel more spacious. I had a quiet night of solid sleep and woke up to a stunning sunrise. Being able to park right beside the cabin added to the feeling of safety. My one and only reason for four rather than five stars is the "no dogs on the bed or chairs" policy which I didn't see stated anywhere on their site while booking. The dog fee itself is extremely reasonable and I am grateful that they even allowed dogs to begin with but it was a rule that would have been nice to know ahead of time. Overall, I would definitely recommend CRRC to anyone visiting the Terrebonne area!

Adored the tiny wild bunnies, too! Located within Crooked River Ranch. First, we want to say a HUGE thank you to Samantha and Michelle who greeted us upon arrival and each morning of our stay. We shared lots of funny stories. We needed some breakfast bowls and utensils which Samantha quickly provided. Plus a "glass" for my morning shake. And, when we asked for more coffee packets and another pillow "Poof!" they were there. Now, this was off season and very few guests. I hope this is the level of hospitality during the busier months. But so glad we arrived after the heat and crowds. We had a king-bed yurt. Mattress was very comfy. And large soft pillows. Grateful for the small fridge and microwave oven. The oven seemed to have a grill/toast option which didn't really work for making toast. But we came prepared with granola and milk and enjoyed our breakfasts on the deck. We imagine during the summer months it much get pretty warm here. Not much shade, but spring and fall are delightful. Nearby hiking trail into the gorge would probably be best approached early or late in the day. Lots of nearby recreational activities including Smith Rock State Park. Sandbagger Saloon serves bar grub. An espresso cart had just closed for the season. Check about nearby equestrian opportunities and hiking on the Deschutes River. Also, very popular with fly-fisher folks.

After a 6 hr drive, we showed up and they told us they canceled our reservation because "Expedia"…read moregave them the wrong dates. They told us we didn't check in the date prior 8/29 (before our check-in date 8/30) and they rebooked the room. I showed them our proof of reservation showing the correct date of 8/30 and she shrugged and said "I don't know what to tell ya." I asked her why she didn't contact us before canceling our reservation and she said, "we don't do that." Mind you, this was a special trip for my husband's birthday! The manager also refused to give us a refund until I threatened to call the cops for double dipping- they took money for our reservation- that we NEVER canceled and took money for another reservation making the room unavailable. We had to scramble to find a hotel that costs 3x as much because of the holiday weekend and all they did was say "sorry". I will never book Smith Rock Resort again due to lack of accountability and respect from the owner - which is also evident in her responses to these reviews.

If you are even remotely thinking of visiting them, you better do it, otherwise you are cheating yourself from one of the most amazing experiences you will ever have! I would like to note that I was in communication with these guys for over 2 weeks trying to get everything organized with our group of what was supposed to be 18, but we lost a friend in a car accident the day before we were going to arrive on July 4th. We collectively decided this would be a wonderful way to honor him and still go. The entire staff was so accommodating and sympathetic to our situation and I feel went above and beyond to make us comfortable in such a strange time. Or instructors were both very nice and very professional. It was the 4th of July, and they organized a cookout with some brats and bbq. I made some side dishes to bring out and we all got to have a nice lunch while we waited on each other to jump. We also brought the dogs with us and they were super doggie friendly. 10/10 would recommend and we will probably be trying to head back before we leave Oregon. Thanks for such a wonderful experience and my awesome video!

Big Meadow is one of two fine golf courses at Black Butte Ranch, the other being Glaze Meadow…read more - Excellent course layout with some nice views of the nearby volcanoes, more so than you'll see at Glaze Meadow. This is not a course you're likely to get bored on. - Greens are well maintained, roll true and are 'readable'. When I played there were a few green that had been significantly repaired with new sod. But they still rolled nicely. - Fairways in good condition. Good shot will almost always find a good lie. - Plenty of bunkers but they're not too punitive. The sand is not the best - a lot of large rocks. - Very little water; the trees, long grass in the rough and bunkers protect the course. - Beverage cart was in operation and stopped by several times - Decent practice facilities; did not see a practice bunker Overall, I like Big Meadow even more than Glaze Meadow. It's not too difficult for high handicappers and probably offers a good challenge to scratch golfers. The clubhouse contains Roberts Pub, a very nice 19th hole.
