Where the High Desert Wakes Up

Eagle Crest, OR | Family | Spring | 3-day

As the high desert thaws, Central Oregon trades quiet trails for rushing rivers and green-tipped sagebrush. Saddle up with Brasada Trails wranglers, meet the animals at DD Ranch in the shadow of Smith Rock, and picnic beneath the Three Sisters at Faith Hope & Charity Vineyards. Cast for rainbow trout at Prineville Reservoir, let the kids loose in Pappy's arcade, and finish with rooftop-garden plates at Terra Kitchen. The whole family heads home a little wilder.
