Tumalo Falls, Snowy Roads, and more Paddling

By: Christina Russell

This weekend, my friend Jesse came down from Hood River for a visit. He had never been to Bend before so I wanted to show him the good stuff. :)


We got up early and headed out to Tumalo Falls . It's a 100 foot waterfall just West of Bend. In the winter you can capture some great shots as the drop freezes up and maybe even see some ice climbers. The road out to the falls had a wee bit of snow on it so we took it slow and enjoyed the scenery...

Another great weekend in Bend, Oregon and I have to say a welcome change in my schedule. My first relaxing weekend I've had in a while. Hope everyone is getting out on their local rivers and enjoying the brisk weather! :)

Happy Paddling,
Christina
