Review of Wanderlust Tours

What a beautiful way to begin a week long play-cat...

What a beautiful way to begin a week long play-cation. The view. The information gleaned. The falling of the sun and the superimposition of the western ridgeline. If you can keep your breath in your lungs while gazing at this you may be too far gone. Alas Wanderlust Tours expert guide Pat has what it might take to rouse you out of your city slicker slumber state. With his vast knowledge of the Newberry Caldera and its geological uniqueness you can be swept from the present to a time where the very land you are standing on was being formed from a fiery forge.

The Hike up in and of itself is perfect if you have had a long day exploring or traveling into town: not too long and contoured to encircle the mountain. I found myself throughout the ascent taking in different locations and names that I would be exploring later that week. Having this initial vantage point was truly centering for the rest of my week in Bend. I cannot see myself coming through central Oregon without taking advantage of what Wanderlust has to offer my adventurous appetite.
