7 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain •
Headed to Southern Oregon with no real plan. Started the day with the glorious hot springs and a waterfall. Then picked a hike at random from the Hiking the Siskiyous/Southern Cascades book, "Viewpoint Mike", turned out to be a nice destination, lots of cool flowers, great views, and right by Lost Creek Lake for a post hike swim (yes! it was actually warm enough to swim way down there...chilly water, but doable)
