Deschutes River

13 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •

Spent 2 great days at the Deschutes with my grandmother, hardly had any rain (10 minutes on Sat.) and there was even some sun! Quite a change after driving through downpour in the Gorge. There's some neat trails in the first 3 miles along the river; allows skipping some of the road and see better river views. We also found (on my 3rd try) a trail to Ferry Springs. Where my pointer is on the map, there's an old homestead with a couple of old pear trees (the pears are long gone of course) and lots of walnut trees (the nuts are still good, loads of them:).

Map track shows our hikes on both days; I still have to figure out how to show road vs trail, change track color, etc.
