AdvenTours Guided Accessible Lava Lands National Monument Hike & Stargazing

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 explore Lava Lands National Monument, gaining an understanding for Central Oregon’s volcanic history and immersing ourselves under the night sky!

Naturalist Guided Experience: This adventure will take us to Lava Lands, an amazing 10-square-mile lava field just south of Bend. We will hit the trail and head towards the incredible Kipuka, an island of trees that thrive amongst a sea of ancient lava flows. Your guide will share stories and wisdom about Central Oregon’s uncanny geology as we search for inspiring vistas as the sun descends behind the mighty Cascade Mountains. Once the sun’s glow has waned, we will turn our attention skyward, as your guide will impart their knowledge of the twinkling heavens above!
