4 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
Small but interesting hiking area above Kahneeta resort in Warm Springs reservation. There wasn't much wilderness feel, but the views of the desert were great in all directions (with some "painted hills" not far away - next time I'd check the trail that goes in that direction), and flowers are getting really good, now only 1-2 weeks before their peak. We drove past torrential rain near Mt. Hood, but on that hike we hardly had any. The last several miles of road to/from Kahneetah were so scenic that we stopped for more pictures.
