59 miles, 4208 up
We started our day riding from Sisters to Bend along the highway shoulder, but soon took a turn onto a very quiet country road that was lined with beautiful ranches, farms and an incredible number of fine looking horses.
That road took us into the outskirts of Bend, where we had a snack and coffee / tea at a serious biker place. Our maps tell us we have limited services for 94 miles, so it seems like time for a treat.
Soon enough, we were on the road toward Mt. Batchelor, our "hill for the day, " about 17 miles of steady going... Not steep, just another long one.
We stop sometimes for a break...
Here's our first view of Mt. Batchelor...
For tonight, we landed at Elk Lake Resort, which does have showers, a small store, restaurant and other important items...
We're about 90 miles from Crater Lake now, and the Northern entrance is closed due to fires... We may have to detour.
