Memorial Day Long weekend 2016.
Saturday we did work around the house so after church today we decided to go explore a new location in the area. We decided to head down to LaPine State Park, which is about 25-30 minutes South of Bend off Highway 97.
Our first site was the 'Big Tree'. It is the largest (by circumference) Douglas fir tree in the World. It used to be the largest in girth and in height but a storm knocked the top over many years ago, so that honor is taken by a tree in northern California.
After visiting the Big Tree we went for our first every family mountain bike ride on the Fall River loop that departs from the McGregor Overlook parking area. A 4.75 mile ride mostly flat with a few ups and downs. Along the way Hunter, Noah and I did the small offshoot to see Fall River Falls.
