I was able to take one of the best car rides in my life over a late afternoon near Bend, Oregon. This is a shot of Mount Washington but the scenic drive took you to the summit of the McKenzie Pass at an elevation of 5325 feet. At the summit you are able to see at least 7 peaks, depending on the very changeable weather, including the Three Sisters and Mount Jefferson, among others. Along the ground is the remains of one of the last lava flows in the continental United States, having ended only 2 or 3 thousand years ago. I highly recommend Bend for its craft beers and wonderful outdoor culture. Great place to visit.
