Once you around Bend, Oregon, do not forget to visit the Petersen Rock Garden.
It contains dozens of imaginative and intricately detailed miniature buildings, including castles, churches and cottages built of agate, jasper, lava, malachite, obsidian, petrified wood and thundereggs. The 1.6 acre site also houses Wigeons and a small museum with a souvenir shop that sells stones, including crystals, fossils and semi-precious stones.

Petersen Rock Garden was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 2013.
