The High Desert Museum
A few pictures from The High Desert Museum along Highway 97 a few miles south of Bend, Oregon.
This is a pretty nice museum that features many indoor exhibits pertaining to wildlife, history, and attractions of Oregon's High Desert. There are a few outdoor wildlife enclosures for eagles, owls, raptors, and river otters.
We highly recommend!

Crater Lake Scenic Rim Drive
We were passing up through Central Oregon with no time restraints, so took a detour to drive the Crater Lake Scenic Rim Drive. It was mid-day with bright sun and no cloud cover so things were washed out, so I only took a few pictures.
Next time we go back I would like to hike the trail along the Northwest Rim. Maybe on a peak climbing trip rest day in the coming years.
