We took a trip up to the Metolius River, located just west of Sisters, Oregon. The head waters of the rive comes right out of the mountain. It is ice cold and crystal clear. In years past we were able to see it pool up and move out as a pretty good sized river. This year the vegetation was thick and we weren't able to get the same view. We went on up the river to a fish hatchery where there was a pretty good hiking path along the river. Amber, Chris, Nathan, and Jaxon we're with us. The river is one of the prettiest that I have seen.
We stopped a Shahallie Falls on the way back and had another beautiful hike. This is a picture of G-ma next to the Mckenzie river. We think it looks like she is standing in front of a painting. It's for real.

Shahallie Falls has three drops and this is a picture of me in front of the second drop. The whole thing is a sight to behold. Wish would could share it with everyone in person.

Hope you enjoy this.
