SWAMPY LAKES SNO-PARK, Ore. (AP) — Escaping into winter is not difficult in Central Oregon.
But escaping into winter and finding some solitude can be a challenge.
Century Drive west of Bend is lined with sno-parks and other areas where locals and tourists alike can revel in just about every snow-related outdoor activity: downhill skiing and snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, fatbiking, snowmobiling, sledding and more.
