Chimney Rock Family Nature Adventure

Grab the kids and join author Wendy Gorton for a hike through a juniper doorway, catch views of the Crooked River, holler down below at Echo Bench, and feel the satisfaction of making it all the way up to Chimney Rock. Mini scavenger hunt sheets will be handed out as families join Wendy to spot species, draw in a nature journal, and play a few fun games while hiking to the top of Chimney Rock. A free copy of “50 Hikes with Kids: Oregon and Washington” will be raffled at the end of the hike.

Difficulty: Moderate – At 2.8 miles out and back, 566 feet elevation gain, this is considered a challenging hike for little ones but very do-able with plenty of stops and water!

Chimney Rock is about a 35 drive east of Bend. Hikers will meet at ONDA’s Bend office.
