The McKenzie River gorge is just one beautiful place after another.  We haven’t seen them all but are going to try over the next few weeks.

While mom was on a long hike Dad and I drove up the McKenzie Pass road toward Sisters.  Got to stop along the way and play in some very cold water. Brrr!

Dad got to take some pictures of what are called the Three Sisters. Really pretty and snow!

There is a trail called the McKenzie River National Recreation Trail that is 26 miles long.  It is one of the most famous mountain bike trails.  Mom’s goal while we are here is to hike each part of the trail.  Dad and I drop her off at a trail head and she hikes about 5 miles at at time on the trail.  Dad and go take shorter walks and play in the water and then pick her up at her ending point.

Places like Clear Lake

One morning early, Dad headed off and went to Proxy Falls.  Mom and I slept in.  He got to see some pretty great waterfalls.  Says he will go back and take me.
