Exploratory hike from Canyon Creek CG along the Metolius River on a gorgeous Spring day. Hiked 3 miles to Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery where the baby salmon are coming along nicely. Had lunch on the riverside and hiked back to the car at the campground. Continued to auto-tour the area and found more CG's and a nice viewpoint of the Cascade range. The headwaters of the Metolius is a spring gushing out of a hillside.
