I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There are many reasons to visit Crater Lake in Oregon. The deepest and cleanest body of water in the country, Crater Lake is an immensely beautiful natural treasure. Within Crater Lake National Park, opportunities for outdoor adventure abound, many of which are the kind of once-in-a-lifetime experiences of bucket-list dreams. There are also some truly extraordinary accommodations in and around the park, which only add to the experience. But there’s another reason to visit Crater Lake: pie. Yes, pie. You see, just 10 miles from this world-famous national park, there’s another world-famous wonder, and it’s the huckleberry pies from Beckie’s Café.
Beckie's Café is a longstanding institution near the small town of Prospect, Oregon. It's located just 10 miles from Crater Lake National Park, but folks often come to this area just for the pies. Sorry, Crater Lake!
Beckie's boasts a full menu of delicious options perfect for fueling up before and after your Crater Lake exploits. The deli sandwiches are superb, and the breakfast plates are in a league of their own!
But what Beckie's is best-known for is pie. And while all of the pies at this bakery are delightful, at Beckie's, you really only need to try one kind of pie...
What makes these pies so special? Well, they really are the sum of their parts: the experience of dining in a historic lodge, an old family recipe, wild berries picked from the forest behind the restaurant, an impossibly buttery crust... it's all of these things!
Have you ever tried the huckleberry pie from Beckie’s Café in Oregon before? This is one place that’s absolutely worth visiting; and while you’re in the area, there’s also, you know, one of the most beautiful wonders in the world to explore.
