Sunriver home rentals are a great way to access the great outdoors. Great locations to visit include the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, Smith Rock and Mount Bachelor Ski Resort. Sunriver rentals will fit the needs of you and your family will add to the enjoyment of your vacation.
Newberry National Volcanic Monument
Your day trip from your Sunriver home rental will be made special with a tour of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. It contains at least 50,000 acres of lakes, lava flows and geologic features to fill your day. You'll be able to see the Oregon Cascades and High Desert as you reach the top of Paulina Peak, the highest in the area. If the day is clear, you'll be able to see the Cascade range as it extends from Mount Adams in Washington to Mount Shasta in California. For a vision of trout and salmon, go to the summit of Newberry Volcano where the two lakes are filled with these fishes. Newberry Volcano is very active.
To catch Oregon fish, you can go to Benham Falls near Lava Lands Visitor Center. Also known as the "River of Falls" to the French, it has a trail that goes upstream. You'll end up at Benham Falls when you take the trail downstream. Going to the 1,300-year-old Big Obsidian Flow will allow you to see the youngest lava flow in the state. The Lava Butte is a cinder cone that erupted 7,000 years ago and rises 500 feet above the Visitor Center. To enjoy hiking, a self-guided trail on the Lava Cast Forest is recommended.
Smith Rock
Visiting Smith Rock an hour away from your home rental entails a scenic day trip of adventure with rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding and trail running. The Smith Rock State Park includes 651 acres for your vacation enjoyment. For guests who want to bring their dogs, they will be relieved to know that leashed dogs are allowed. To fully appreciate the panoramic scenery, visiting during spring and fall is advised.
Mount Bachelor Ski Resort
A short ride away from your Sunriver rental is the thrill of skiing and snowboarding at Mount Bachelor Ski Resort. You'll be able to ride dog sleds, and learn how to care for and feed the dogs after your trip. Snowmobiling, tubing and taking the NASCAR course can all be positive parts of your scenic day trip to Mount Bachelor. Six terrain parks can accommodate you throughout your stay. From November to May, you can start the fun at 9 am and challenge yourself on the snow until 4 pm.
