Today our friends, Keith and Janice, took Barbara and I sight seeing in central Oregon. First we traveled to the Benham Falls trail head. Once there we hiked along the Deschutes River to Benham Falls. After taking a few photos of the falls and the surrounding area, we took a short drive to the Lava Lands Visitors Center at the base of Lava Butte cinder cone. At the visitors center I hiked the Trail of the Molten Land and was treated to wonderful vistas of the nearby Cascade Mountains. This trail crosses numerous lava flows that originated from the base of Lava Butte.
