Your next stop will be Sparks Lake, located about 25 miles west of Bend off the Cascade Lakes Highway (40 minutes driving time). Note that the road is closed during winter and usually opens around May/June each year. Sparks Lake offers beautiful views of Mount Bachelor (9,068′) and has an easy scenic loop hike, the Ray Atkeson Loop Trail (2.3 miles). I recommend having a picnic lunch here before hitting the road again.
