Before we left Mojave we walked over to the White Cross World War I Memorial which was first constructed at Sunrise Rock in 1934. It’s a beautiful setting of granite rock outcropping maintained by volunteers. Unfortunately, like most things...
Exploring Ride in Mojave National Preserve
There aren’t any mountain bike specific trails in the preserve, but we rode our bikes out some gravel, dirt, and rock roads back to see Rock Springs and then further to some giant rock boulders in the New York...
Barber Peak and The Rings Hike
The Mojave Preserve stretches out across an expansive 1,542,776 acres and one day we drove over to an area called Hole in the Wall to hike around. We hiked Barber Peak Loop and up through Rings Trail for a...

We haven’t been back to Bend since we left almost three years ago…until now. We waited for the summer smoke to end and finally made our way here for a few weeks before continuing south for the winter. Luckily...
