Our first visit to Central Oregon, in which we learn just how much we'll need to return for more adventures. On this adventure we based ourselves out of Bend and day tripped out around the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Fort Rock State Park, and the aptly named Crack-In-The-Ground.

One of the best parts about visiting Portland, Oregon is the easy access to the corridor of waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge. On this visit we set out to see how many waterfalls we could reasonably visit in one day and of course, still make it back in time to enjoy a fantastic Portland dinner with friends.

When we first started telling people we were going to drive and enjoy the entire Oregon Coast in just one day - a few crazy looks were directed our way. In fairness, the drive between Astoria and Brookings is 338 miles and according to Google Maps takes over seven hours just to drive straight, without stops. However, as the adventurous and ambitious travelers we are (we did plan a trip to Iceland for just 20 hours), we remained completely undeterred and had a fabulous time on our Oregon Coast Challenge.
