Tam McArthur Rim Trail

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

We started at Three Creeks Trail and went counter clockwise on the Broken Top Loop trail, so I suppose we only came down Tam McArthur Rim Trail as opposed to doing it as an out-and-back, but it was a nice walk and I wouldn't say too difficult. There is some scree hiking--if you choose the west side--(the other side was more of a hard-packed trail), but even then it was okay.  The views along the way are nice, but the views from the top are stunning; definitely try to make it to the top if you can!  You can park at Three Creeks Lake and easily find the trailhead, and from there, the path is easy to follow (minus the one section where you have a choice to take, mentioned above). It's worth it as well to check out No Name Lake, which you'll see from the top if you make it that far.  This trail is fairly exposed, so be sure to wear sunscreen and a hat. Not buggy at all in mid-August. It's a beautiful place to hike.

Black Butte Ranch Golf Club - Big Meadow & Glaze Meadow Golf Courses

Where the "Golden Age of Golf" is Honored... When you play on Glaze Meadow expect to feel like you stepped back in time to the "Golden Age of Golf" when exceptional course design and architecture ushered in a new era. With slightly elevated greens, square tee boxes and deep grass-faced bunkers, the course truly transports you back in time. The newly designed Oregon golf greens are not only meant to play fast and true with significant slope, but please golfers' senses with beautifully integrated pristine landscape. Big Meadow Golf Course stretching more than 7,000 yards, our Big Meadow Course is one of Central Oregon golfers' favorites, garnering a four-star rating from Golf Digest and being recognized as a Top 75 Golf Resort in the US. You won't want to miss the perfect Oregon golf photo opportunity at the 14th hole, which gives a dramatic view of Three Fingered Jack, a jagged volcanic peak.

We live in a suburb of Portland and decided to make the long drive to play this wonderful course. The staff was very helpful and the course was in immaculate condition. Because of the Coronavirus other parts of the facility were closed but someday we will visit again and hope to check them out. We highly recommend this golf course.

Proxy Falls

Reviewed By ksrich - Linwood, United States

An interesting trail to 2 wonderfully beautiful waterfalls. It says it is only 1 1/4 mile trail but after you are sure you have gone more than that, you all of a sudden find a waterfall. The trail could be rough for some people but an average person should be able to get within sight of the falls. We climbed down to the bottom of the lower falls and found it rather interesting getting back to the main trail. A very beautiful area.
