Sunset dinner on Mt. Bachelor





I was very excited this Sunriver trip because I was able to meet up with my good friend Aryn. We were finally both in Bend at the same time. We met for a morning run along the Deschutes river. It was beautiful and the time flew as we caught up. Afterwards we enjoyed some coffee and chatting. Aryn suggested that I take Eric up to the restaurant that she works at on Mt. Bachelor. They have a sunset dinner with beautiful views. I loved the idea since our anniversary was coming up.


I surprised Eric the next night with the dinner plans. We drove out to Bachelor and took the ski lift up to the restaurant. The view from the lift was gorgeous! It only got better when we got to the restaurant. The deck goes almost 360 degrees around the restaurant. We enjoyed the breath taking views of Mt. Bachelor and the surrounding lakes as we waited for our table.


Aryn was our server which was an extra treat. The food was amazing. We filled up on crab dip for our appetizer and were so full that we barely touched our dinners (they were excellent too). My dad even gave us a bottle of his Minassian Young wine to enjoy. It was a perfectly romantic evening.


It was dark when we left dinner and took the ski lift back down the mountain. It was a full moon and the view was just as wonderful on the way back down. We were so happy that we had gone out-it was a dinner that we will definitely remember.
