Mountain bikers cruise along the Lava Flow Trail at the Mt. Bachelor Bike Park.

The weather will calm down a bit this weekend, so why not take a bath in the shadow of the Cascades this weekend? With lakes, rivers, streams and trees galore, you can find your own little slice of nature if you want to head to your favorite swimming hole or fish in the early morning glow.

Trailheads and day use areas can fill up quickly, so plan ahead and only park in designated areas especially as the hot undercarriage of your car could inadvertently spark a fire. So be vigilant wherever you go.
