Hello all. The BF and I are looking for good, secluded spots close to Bend. Places where we can be next to water is preferred but if you have an amazing spot that doesn't have water please share :). We have a lifted 2019 Subaru outback and a rooftop tent so we can get to most places. We are not new to this, but we really need some new suggestions.

This is part of a trip I have been planning out in that area.

Lava Cast NF is pretty cool and Paulina Peak is a pretty nice view.

I have not run this, Just parts. Not really near water, but pretty country if you have not been out there.

CalTopo map Feel free to add to this map If you run it I'd love to know what you think of the route.
