HIKE TO HIGH LAKE|
INFLATABLE PADDLE BOARD TRIP TO NO NAME LAKE
People live in Bend, OR because they have a passion for the outdoors—the same goes for
the crew at Stand On Liquid. We always encourage our customers to explore the many
lakes that populate Central Oregon. To access those bodies of water not accessible by
car, Stand on Liquid offers a great selection of inflatable paddle boards you can throw on
The gate for RD 370 that takes you up to the Broken Top trailhead
is still closed, so Pat, Nate, and I hiked up from the Todd Lake
parking lot, for a 15 mile round trip.

your back. To show the ease of bringing a board on your next adventure, we embarked on
a 15-mile round trip to No Name Lake, a gorgeous spot just beneath the peak of Broken
Top.
The hike up winds through the Three Sisters Wilderness
with amazing views of Mt. Bachelor behind you and roar-
ing creeks of fresh snow melt coming off of Broken Top.
As we got closer to the mountain, and in the alpine level,
we started hitting some big snow fields that are slowly
melting away as summer continues.

Drink Water was founded by Bend
snowboarder Austin Smith, along with
Bryan Fox and his brother Stephen
Fox in 2011. DW came about as they
watched the snowboard industry,
and other similar industries, become
inundated with energy drink brands
peddling their products to kids. Oddly
enough, nobody was really oppos-
ing them. They figured professional
snowboarders with an opinion on the
matter, should try and use whatever
Influence to protest. And for them the
best protest was to promote some-
thing they actually supported...drinking
water. Drink Water has grown to an
initiative, a brand, a movement, and
something way bigger than the found-
ers ever expected. It’s not about sell-
ing water, they are actually committed
to never selling water. They prefer
water from the tap, filling reusable
bottles and ending the plastic bottle
nightnare.To date, Drink Water has
donated nearly $200,000 to water.org.
Water.org is a non-profit where the
money raised goes to help solve the
global crises of billions of people who
do not have access to clean drinking
water.
