View from Soda Creek Campground (Site 9)

If you care more about views than facilities, Soda Creek Campground is glorious. No water or electricity, and the toilet is a bit of walk, but the neighboring Soda Creek meadow is amazing, and you won’t have far to go if you want to hike up South Sister or to Moraine Lake.

(a small part of the) Petersen Rock Garden (Redmond, Oregon)

When it comes to Oregon oddities, the Petersen Rock Garden property probably cracks the top 10. We were there in March of 2021. In September of 2022 the place sold for $800,000. Google currently lists it as “closed” so maybe a restoration is in the works?
