I'm planning a trip out to the Bend area this summer with a couple of friends, and wouldn't you know it, my "let's go bomb around in the desert and beat the hell out of my Jeep" trip is slowly turning into a "let's all be pansies, stay in hotels, and make sure we don't get too dirty" trip.
This will not stand. I swear, I will get my Jeep dirty, even if I have to kick heads in.
We're planning on staying in the Bend area and hitting up the local geological goodies (and, since we're going with Russians, some hot springs). Are there any good trails in the area that we could blast around? These don't have to be hardcore - just some overland-style stuff, dirt roads, etc. Something scenic would be awesome.
I was looking at China Hat road on Google Earth, and I keep finding conflicting reports as to whether it's a boring paved road or something more interesting and dirty. Nice thing is, it runs right from one of our destinations (Fort Rock) to another (the Newberry Crater). Is this worth hitting up?
Thanks!
