SILENT PERSPECTIVES (4K) of National Wild & Scenic Upper Deschutes River | Bend | Central Oregon

Silent Perspectives of National Wild & Scenic Upper Deschutes River up and down the 8-Mile Shoreline Trail including Benham Falls, Dillon Falls, Upper Falls, Big Eddy etc. near Bend in Central Oregon! Each 4K Clip is original and no Clip appears twice.

In my opinion, there are about 8 Miles of PREMIUM River Shoreline Hiking on Deschutes River Trail along National Wild & Scenic Upper Deschutes River, Deschutes National Forest, Central Oregon.

This is EASILY a TOP 5 River Shoreline Hike in the Great State of Oregon! There are 3 Strategic Approaches to Capture/Tackle this EPIC area:

1) 8 Mile Point-to-Point Hike from Meadow Day Use Area to Sun-Lava Path Trailhead (called East Benham Falls Trailhead on Google Maps), in either Direction, need to arrange transportation at end of Hike!

2) 16 Mile Out & Back Hike from Meadow Day Use Area to Dillon Falls to Benham Falls to Sun-Lava Path Trailhead (called East Benham Falls Trailhead on Google Maps), in either Direction, no transportation logistics required, the Superstar Hiker Method!

3) Break Deschutes River Trail up into 2 separate more leisurely 8-Miles'ish Out & Back Hikes using Dillon Falls as the Midpoint:
a) Meadow Day Use Area Trailhead to Dillon Falls & Back.
b) Sun-Lava Path Trailhead (called East Benham Falls Trailhead on Google Maps) to Dillon Falls & Back.
