Partial GPS tracks here
Leaving Sisters
The gravel turns red
The route ran through a section of burned forest...
... and downed trees. Ugh, hike-a-bike
Mt. Washington through the burn
Clear Lake- it's actually that blue
Lava country
Crazy ass bug
McKenzie River- one of many crossings like this
Sahalie Falls
One of many technical lava sections
Look closely on the right, there is a hot springs cave
Another view from Clear Lake
This section was so cool. Just follow an old trail, nothing packed down and obvious, all old growth trees, lots of lava and nobody in sight
Shot taken of bug chomped leg the night before the mosquitoes got bad
High country mountain flowers
Moonscape- volcanic debris from extinct volcano Sand Mountain
Last night campsite near Sand Mt
Old fire lookout tower on top of Sand Mt
Looking south from Sand Mt looking at Mt Washington and the Three Sisters Mts
Looking north at Three Fingered Jack and Mt Jefferson
Looking west, you can see the McKenzie river valley
Good old Karate Monkey!
