A walk along the Deschutes River

I had a very enjoyable walk along the Deschutes River from the Slough Recreation site almost to the Aspen Recreation site. I walked along Dillon Falls which is breathtaking. The Deschutes River is forced between lava flows in this area and descends fast, tumbling through the rocks. 

It ended up being a 6.36 mile hike with an ascent of 1397 feet. 










Visited with a friend along the way.

Notice the lava flows across the river. 

Then the river flows peacefully again. 

Time for a break along the walk back. 


Thank you God for Oregon.  It refreshes the soul. 

Life is good.
