Kah-Nee-Ta Resort & Spa

Located on the high desert, past Mt. Hood, somewhat near Madras, Oregon is an resort located on tribal lands of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. Amenities include an unique spa of warm spring pools guarded by sculptures of Bear. The lodge and casino are not far from the spa. My favorite treat to get after soaking in the hot springs fed pools is Indian Fry Bread with Marionberry jam. Omg, it's a meal by itself and oh so scrumptious. Of course, to get there, you'll need to think carefully about the mileage per gallon of gas your car uses because the last place to get a reasonable price for gasoline is in Sandy (which is before you go up and over Mt. Hood). Otherwise, gasoline at small service stations nearest the resort is....fairly expensive. The pines on the high desert are idigeneous to the terrain. Red lava rock lines the ages old roads to drive on to the reservation. You will most likely notice the subtle hints of desert sage, pine, and other interesting vegetation scenting the air. And,,,,,, it's home to antelope, eagles, and bear and other ruminants living in the woods.

Word to the wise: cell tower service is limited in this area. Go in the summer to late fall to enjoy it at peak season. There's nothing like the scent of desert rain at Kah-Nee-Ta.
