Thrilling Rock Crawling Adventure in the Deschutes National Forest- Central Oregon 360 EP2

Join me on an epic rock crawling adventure through the rugged trails of the Deschutes National Forest! This is Episode 2 of Central Oregon 360, my exciting partnership with BackyardBend & presented by Subaru of Bend. Our mission? To simplify discovering Central Oregon's hidden gems, build community through outdoor recreation, and inspire personal growth and deeper connections with nature.

In this video, I team up with the Deschutes County 4-Wheelers—a passionate nonprofit dedicated to preserving, promoting, and expanding four-wheeling opportunities in Central Oregon. We conquer a legendary trail at Edison Sno-Park, built by the club itself. Watch as I navigate intense lava rock crawls, tight tree squeezes, and surprise snow patches. Along the way, I learn invaluable lessons from club veterans Randy (the longest-standing member) and President Jacob: how patience, control, and adaptability can conquer not just tough terrain, but life's biggest challenges too.

Discover how this dedicated group maintains trails, funds OHV areas via their annual Groundhog Rock Crawl event, and fights to keep these areas open for everyone. This is about adventure, stewardship, and community spirit!

Huge thanks to our sponsors: Subaru of Bend, Tumalo Creek Kayak and Canoe, Idaho First Bank, and Visit Bend for powering Central Oregon 360 and making these adventures possible.

Let's Go! 🚙🌲
