AdvenTours Accessible Guided Paulina Creek Hike

  • Wanderlust Tours, 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 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 the magnificent Paulina Creek.

Naturalist Guided Experience: Paulina Creek flows from the stunning Paulina Lake in the Newberry Caldera and its surrounding wetlands and meadows, providing habitat for a wide range of fish and wildlife!

On our adventure, we will head upstream, watching the creek cascade over one volcanic outcropping after another, learning about the incredible National Volcanic Monument that serves as the starting point for this spectacular body of water. During our adventure, your guide will impart their knowledge of the creek’s hydrology as well as local flora and fauna.
