Slice of Heaven
Dillon Falls, along the Deschutes River Trail outside of Bend, Oregon, is one of several places the river plunges on its course between Bend and Sunriver. Dillon Falls is very accessible and provides great views of the enormous lava flows that changed the course of the river eons ago, old-growth Ponderosa pine forests and spectacular whitewater. Dillon Falls plunges through a chute formed by basalt on one side of the river and lava rock on the other.
