Dog-sled riding on the snowy slopes of a volcano, hiking through a rock-climbers Mecca, driving a brand new Chevy Impala through a snow storm, visiting the American city sometimes referred to as “Beer Disneyland” – all these adventures plus a few more are in my trio of Oregon articles in next month’s Let’s Travel magazine.

In conjunction with all my published articles I like to do Roxborogh Report photo essays, so here are my top 40 photos from part of that recent Oregon trip, these on Central Oregon. Focusing on the city of Bend, Smith Rock and Mt Bachelor, I hope these photos give a sense of why Oregon is increasingly on the radar for international tourists.

Thanks again to Travel Oregon as well as the Central Oregon Visitors Association, The Bend Tour Company and Oregon Trail Of Dreams. Please visit the Let’s Travel website to subscribe to what has for some years been New Zealand’s #1 travel mag. Enjoy the photos!
