Tumalo Mountain
Hiker: Kevin Farron Favorite Oregon Hike: Tumalo Mountain Hiking Tips: Go early in the morning, start at first light and catch the sunrise at the top. Best part about it? In the summer, you can still be back to work in Bend by 9 a.m. Know anyone else who can climb a mountain before work? Social: @oradventurer
