SUMMARY:AdvenTours: Tumalo Creek Scenic Hike
DESCRIPTION:Adventure: Wanderlust Tours is excited to bring more access to the outdoors by partnering with AdvenChair to help those with mobility challenges get into the outdoors and explore beautiful areas that initially may not seem accessible. With the AdvenChair off-road wheelchair and the incredible team of volunteers at AdvenChair\, we will experience a magnificent ecosystem filled with burgeoning flora and fauna\, spring migratory birds\, and more that find refuge and resources in Tumalo Creek. \nNaturalist Guided Experience: We will begin our adventure along the crystal clear waters of Tumalo Creek. Our route will take us through a section of Tumalo canyon where we will immerse ourselves in some of Central Oregon’s finest geologic features. This scenic area just outside Bend’s front door known as Shevlin Park was founded as a beacon of conservation. Early 1900’s Bend was almost exclusively a logging community and as many areas became heavily logged\, demand grew for a nearby area to be protected for recreation. In 1920\, Shevlin-Hixon Lumber Company\, under the guidance of Thomas W. Shevlin and Hugh O’Kane\, donated the land to the city of Bend with the stipulation that it be used for park purposes. This initial donation helped establish the park\, and it has been expanded over the years through additional land acquisitions. \nLearn more and register here!
