We are traveling to Prineville from Corvallis in the next couple of days and have some time to kill. Does anyone have some recommendations for things to see or do?

Silver Falls State Park is a MUST SEE... do you hike?
Fishermen's Bend Campground (1 mile WEST of Mill City, OR) just the BEST BLM cg in the entire 50 states. We used to host there. Expect to be surprised. They have FHU pull thu's but you should call ahead or make reservations.PHOTOS https://picasaweb.google.com/117253848546820846335/FishermenSBendCampgroundMillCityOregon?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCK2sqPrhguKYGg&feat=directlink

Lava river caves. Lava lands visitor center. High desert museum are just three more
Also -- add Newberry Caldera (between Sunriver and LaPine).....be brave and drive to the top of Paulina Peak and see both East and Paulina Lake.....2 lakes formed from 1 -- a lava flow "cut" them in two. Both are inside the caldera (similar to Crater Lake - only not as deep)- Lava river caves. Lava lands visitor center. High desert museum are just three more
- Sisters, Oregon (the town, itself is worth the stop)
Smith Rock, north of Redmond.....especially if you like hiking
Peterson Rock Garden, near Redmond .....funky....a man collected rocks for years and built quite a "must see"
Mt. Bachelor.....take Century Drive from Bend to around the mountain
