SunRiver Vacation-Days Three and Four

Sunday, July 8, 2012

We set out early in the morning again to take part in the Paulina Plunge which is a six-mile trek down a mountain on bikes with frequent stops at beautiful waterfalls and natural waterslides. It was a FULL day and we managed to come out with only a few minor injuries.

This was our first stop. We parked out bikes and hiked down to this waterfall. Do you know how cold the water is at this elevation? It’s cold. Really, really cold.

Then we hiked back up, got back on our bikes and went to our next stop. Have I mentioned how hard it is to breathe at 6,000 feet?

Forest fire…there was a lot of this. Only YOU can prevent forest fires, folks.

I have some videos of the kids jumping into the waterfalls and sliding, but I can’t get them to work. I’ll keep trying.

That night we ate some yummy Mexican food and then went to the SunRiver Village for a little fun.

On our last day at SunRiver we slept in (much deserved), packed up, checked out and then went horseback riding. There are no picture of horseback riding. They didn’t allow pictures or cell phones so as to not spook the horses. Any policy that is about not spooking the horses (especially when I am on one) is okay by me. We had a lovely time and Julio, Cinnamon, Christmas and Cowboy delivered us back safely.
