7 miles of hiking • 750' elevation gain •
Went to "the place of big rocks on the ground". This was an excellent short ascent up a geological wonder, wandering a landscape with Junipers up to 250 years old and volcanic rock stacked as fences by ranchers from the past. Views to surrounding cascade volcanoes (on a clear day, I wasn't so lucky.) Along the rim, there was a view of "the island", a protected peninsula high in the sky, where the Crooked River and Deschutes River meet the man made reservoir Lake Billy Chinook.
