Our first two nights were in Redmond, Oregon. We wanted to be close to Smith Rock<\/a> and our new-favorite restaurant in Redmond, Carnaval Mexican Grill<\/a>. After an online search, I found SCP Redmond<\/a>, two blocks from Carnaval and one block from free Level 2 charging (thank you, City of Redmond!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCP stands for Soul, Community, Planet. This small, boutique chain of hotels practices sustainability and giving back. Visit their website<\/a> for more; it\u2019s pretty cool. A medium-size hotel at 49 rooms, the service and rooms were over the top good. Highly recommend you stay there if overnighting in Redmond. They have a roof top bar, exercise room and very comfortable beds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Carnaval is probably the best Mexican restaurant we\u2019ve ever eaten at. Great menu and great service. This trip marked our third time there and we will be going back on our return loop home. For breakfast and coffee, don\u2019t miss Junction Roastery<\/a> just a block from the hotel by the park. Fresh pastries and good coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith Rock<\/a> is a place we hike almost every year. It is probably one of our favorite hikes. We pack a lunch, hike along the river to Monkey Face, eat lunch, then hike back out. This year, the weather was perfect. Mid-70s and sunny. We had a great hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Level 2 chargers are in the City parking lot behind the hotel. Redmond recently built a new City Hall with a new park and parking lot. There are two J-1772 chargers free to the public. And the park is really nice as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
