In the summer, take in Mt. Bachelor from your kayak expedition down one of the area's beautiful alpine lakes.

2. Sunriver Resort

After your adventure, head south to Sunriver Resort, which is easily one of the most breathtakingly beautiful and well-appointed accommodations in Oregon.

Book a room and enjoy dinner with a view at this lux Oregon resort.

3. Sisters

After breakfast at the resort, it's time to head to Sisters, Oregon, for a hike that offers unrivaled views of Mount Jefferson as well as the Three Sisters. The 7.4-mile Canyon Creek Meadows Loop is located near Camp Sherman, Oregon, and it's considered a moderately challenging route that's the perfect day hike in the mountains.
