Return from Sunriver

Jenny and I went to Sunriver, OR a couple of weeks ago to volunteer at the Jeld-Wen Tradition golf tournament. We took the scenic route and made a few stops along the way. The first trip was at Lava River Cave. This is cave that was formed by lava flowing underground. Now that the lava is gone, it is much safer for people to explore the nearly mile long cave. Despite the outside temperature being near 100, it was a balmy 40 in the cave - and very dark. Don't believe me? Look at this:



After leaving the cave, we took the long way (as mentioned above). A magazine that we had suggested the side trip that we took with lots of possible stops along the way. One of the stops was at a place called Proxy Falls. As we got out of the car, the thunder started and we got a little worried. However, the rain held off and we got to visit the fantastic falls.

First, South Falls:



Next, a close up of the base of South Falls. Sorry, no pictures of North Falls on this post.

I'm telling ya- this bottom photo looks like it's missing fairies and unicorns :)

I'm so glad we discovered these falls - hooray for the Travel Oregon Magazine!
