Paulina is a small town in Crook County.  It is 55 miles from Prineville, on route 380. Named for  Paiute Chief Paulina, the town has a church, one merchandise store and a charismatic bar/saloon.  It also has one K8 school and a small rodeo each year. 

Plenty of parking on the road, and permits would be necessary through the town itself.

Devils Lake is located on the Cascade Lakes Highway, approximately 30 minutes from Bend and is a stunning aquamarine lake.  In the Winter it freezes over, and in early winter can be used as a skating lake.  Deeper in winter, it is completely covered in snow.  The area is a lava forest.

There is parking on the Highway which encompasses a short but steep hike down to the lake. There is also parking off road leading to campsites.

In winter the highway is closed from the Mt. Bachelor access point, but can be accessed via snow mobiles or snow cat.

During the Summer the lakes are maintained by Deschutes National Forest, in winter the permitting process is handled by ODOT (Oregon Dept. of Transportation).

Mt. Bachelor Ski and Summer resort is open year round and is keen to work with filmmakers to showcase the mountain for their shoot.

The chairlift is available at Mt. Bachelor during the summer months on a part-time basis.  For a film shoot, accommodations can be made. Located at 6,300ft elevation in the West Village base area and ascends to Pine Marten Lodge perched at 7,775 feet. Mt. Bachelor’s operating schedule is tentative and subject to change based on weather conditions and other factors.

Views from the mountain include sights of the Three Sisters peaks, Broken Top and the Cascade Lakes. Distant views include over one million acres of pristine, undeveloped land. As summer progresses, the mountain exposes ancient lava flows, wildflowers and year-round snowfields.

Mt. Bachelor also has several restaurant areas, including a pizza oven and extensive seating for shooting or dining.  The behind the scenes area of the restaurants are also available for filming during the summer.
