I loved the area, although where I was it was mostly forest.<br /><br />I hope you are still planning on coming up my way this summer up in the North Cascades. The area is really beautiful with lots of hiking trails.

I'm with you as liking that kind of trail for hiking rather than tree lined trails with few views. That's most of the hiking in the east.

What a relief. Your pictures here are gorgeous. I especially love the ones with the water. Very wise to get a recommendation about which direction to go on a trail where others have fallen. I think that's good advice I'm going to take. Enjoy planning your summer.

Gary and I are moving to a spot near Crooked River and have Smith Rock on our list of "must dos" while we are in that area. Thanks for sharing your great pix of the area; don't know which hike we'll try yet. Tried Three Creeks Brewery tonight in Sisters - found some good ones! looking forward to seeing where you go next.<br />LeslieLeslie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05708597421696461420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-18879763704982615762014-06-11T18:05:14.951-07:002014-06-11T18:05:14.951-07:00Glad to hear all is well.
