Approaching Bend, OR you can see the snow covered Three Sisters Mtns. We are heading for LaPine State Park. Since we have to go through Bend, I called my niece and we are going to meet her for lunch. We went down to the old mill section along the river which has been developed into a shopping and restaurant area. Afterwards we all walked along the river with Emily and Bailey. It was warm and Bailey took a little dip in the river.

We are camped at LaPine SP which is home to the largest Ponderosa Pine in the state - 326 inches in circumference and 191 feet high.

The next day we drove up to the Lava Beds Visitor Center of the Newberry Crater Natl. Volcanic Monument. There is a large cinder cone there and we drove up to the top. It was quite a view.

There is also an ice cave you can tour. I'm not much on caving so I just peeked inside.
