Vacation On The Metolius

If you have checked our blogs lately and saw some pictures in the upper right hand portion of the blog.....you may have noticed some pictures from our recent vacation to Central Oregon. Emma and I both had the week off and we decided to head on out to central Oregon to camp and go on some nice hikes.

The first part of our trip we stayed at Cold Springs Resort. It was a cool place to stay and right on the Metolius River north of Sisters. We rented a "cabin" which was really a trailer made to look like a cabin with 2 rooms a kitchen and a bathroom. It was actually really very nice and cozy. The walls were covered in wood paneling and the kitchen was filled with everything that you would need for the weekend!! We liked it so much the guy running the place almost talked us into staying a few nights longer with some big discounts. But we already had our camping gear and wanted to get out and about.

So after the "resort" living, we packed up our gear and headed out to find the perfecet spot! Turns out that spot was only about 2 miles up the road called the Gorge Campground. It too was on the river and only 10 feet away. We really had a great amount of choices since it was in the beginning of the week and everyone was at work. Crazy part is we actually questioned ourselves on whether we picked the BEST one! So glad we stayed put.

Here are some pictures if you haven't seen them already....and i know you haven't....:)
