Lava Lands and Benham Falls

Another busy weekend. On Saturday we helped my Mom & Dad unload their moving truck into the house they just rented here in Bend. On Sunday we went for another hike. First stop was Lava Butte, a cinder cone (small volcano) a few miles out of town with great views from the top at 5,000 feet. It's in a national park called Lava Lands. We then went exploring the Deschutes River as it flows through the lava field that Lava Butte emitted 6,100 years ago. It's awfully hard to be bored here.
