Last week we did another trek along the beautiful Deschutes River in Central Oregon. To see this part of the river you only have to drive a few miles from town. This time we walked the stretch between Meadow Camp and Big Eddy.
Central Oregon is full of volcanic features so we see a lot of old lava beds. The one on the left is in the middle of the river and is called Lava Island. It was caused by lava flows coming down from both sides of the river. This area of the river ranges from slow moving pools to class 3 rapids. Here are some rafts that came by while we were hiking. It looks like a lot of fun.
The sock (Trekking #68) is coming along. I'm about half way down to the toe.
On the left is Bid Eddy, class 3 rapids, we saw a few kayakers come down here and what a wild ride it looks! On the right are my three hiking companions. They've finally accepted the odd request to stop for a sock photo!
What a beautiful day for a hike. Since then we've had record hot temperatures, so no hiking lately, but stay tuned for the next trek along adventure.
