Lodge at Summer Lake |
On December 16, 1843, when John Fremont discovered Summer Lake, and nearby Winter Ridge, he described the two landmasses as, "proximate places of ... sudden and violent contrast." The vast and rugged land of Oregon's Outback is full of such contrasts, as it was born over millennia of violent volcanic upheavals and ages of ice and snow. The result is a landscape that stretches as far as one's imagination and calls to the vast expanses of an adventurer's heart. With 500 miles of streams and seven lakes, Oregon's scenic Outback offers plenty of rich outdoor activities. Put down your shopping bag, close your wallet, and take yourself, friends, or family on an adventure through rugged terrain and jaw-dropping beauty in Southern Oregon's Outback READ MORE
