Wanderlust Tours' Winter Newsletter Wanderlust Tours' Winter Newsletter Fall is a great time to visit Bend and Central Oregon – the weather is crisp, cool and still sunny, crowds are gone and we’ve got some mighty great spots to show you! Our canoe tours will continue into the fall so you can join us on a quiet mountain lake and dip your paddles into the still water. And our Cave Tours and GPS Eco-Challenges are perfect autumn options and will continue through the winter. These year-round trips take advantage of the cover of lava caves and the dry high desert – and continue daily even once the snow files. Bring your honey, your family or your staff and get away to Bend this fall. More on Cave Tours http://www.wanderlusttours.com/summer/cavetours.html And our daily, half-day snowshoe tours will begin on Thanksgiving Weekend, depending on snow levels. Tours are offered at approximately 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. every day. Let a Wanderlust Tours guide show you what snowshoeing is all about by taking you into areas where only snowshoes can go! Check out the details at http://wanderlusttours.com/winter/index.html. Call us at 800-962-2862 for information and reservations.
