AdvenTours Accessible Guided Hike Deschutes River Trail: Benham Falls

  • Wanderlust Tours Office, Fred Meyer Shopping Complex 61535 S. Hwy 97 Ste. 13 Bend, OR 97702 (map)

Adventure: Wanderlust Tours is excited to bring more access to the outdoors by partnering with AdvenChair through AdvenTours to help those with mobility challenges get into the outdoors and explore beautiful areas that initially may not seem accessible. With the AdvenChair off-road wheelchair, we will enjoy the reward of stunning views and learn about bask in the beauty and power of the Deschutes River.

Naturalist Guided Experience: This serene trail will take us through a forest of Ponderosa Pine among spectacular lava flows where vistas of Oregon’s backbone, the Cascade Range, stand tall in the distance. We’ll witness the seemingly placid Deschutes turn torrid as it careens over ancient lava rock falls while aspen groves sweep along the river’s edge. During our adventure, your guide will impart their knowledge of the Deschutes River’s hydrology as well as local flora and fauna.
