After arriving in Reno, our first big outing with the family was a short drive up the mountain to Lake Tahoe. The kids and guys (sadly, I forgot my swimsuit) enjoyed swimming in the beautiful crystal clear water for half of the day. Afterwards we drove to Tahoe City for a nature walk and to see the quaint Truckee River Dam.

Crater Lake
After the lave tube we made it to Crater Lake by late afternoon. We drove to all the lookouts to see this beautiful place. It had been years since my last visit but I still remembered the gorgeous shades of blue and green of the water.

Bend
The next day we visited the High Desert Museum and a lava tube in Bend. The girls enjoyed the hands-on exhibits, nature trails, and animals. The river otters and porcupines were always my favorite from visits years ago.
After lunch we made it to the Lava River Cave for a short hike into the tunnel. We rented a flashlight and made our way through the icy cold blackness. We turned around about half-way because we needed to get back on the road to see Crater Lake.
