Western Oregon

Travel Guide

Was a volcano 6,800 years ago that collapsed and turned into the deepest US lake
Bandon Beach, OR is a photographer's paradise. In fact I could hardly get a shot myself without getting other photographers in my shot! The rock formations are fascinating and look like something from another world. We spent hours walking this beach - definitely a must see if you're on the Oregon coast.

Deep , pure lake , indigo blue in color surrounded by cliffs with a violent volcanic past . It has to be experienced to feel it . #waterlust #craterlake #bluewaters #deepestlake #purest
Oneonta Falls. Be prepare to swim the last segment to the falls in the winter! Dry bags are useful if you want to get your camera across without getting wet. It's worth the cold swim :)  #hiking  #weekendgetaway
Gorgeous park underneath the St John's bridge. Almost feels spiritual when you walk through the park.
