Calm Water Near Benham Falls

Just 10 minutes outside of Bend is Benham Falls, and a nice trail with some beautiful scenery surrounding it. The trail I walked was an easy 1.3 mile path, and at the end was calm water with a stunning blue sky reflecting in it. Central Oregon sure has a way of doing nature right, don't you think?
If you don't feel like walking the trail for whatever reason, you can park your car farther away from Benham Falls (in the picnic area) and just enjoy this area by itself.
For me, it's amazing to see Benham Falls transform from wild rapids to peaceful waters in such a short distance. When I think about it, it's pretty symbolic of life.
