Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway

Wow...what an amazing drive, right here in Central Oregon!
The Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway is a 60 mile scenic drive around the base of Mount Bachelor.  It's called one of the nation's most important byways by Scenic America.  It passes through the heart of Central Oregon, with multiple views of the towering Cascade Mountains as a backdrop.  Sparks Lake, Little Lava Lake, Elk Lake and many others are within a short hike of the byway. 

The mile-high area is punctuated by dark lava flows, pumice fields, lofty mountains, and deep chasms, which show the evidence of the volconac activity that formed it.  Enjoy the pics below!
