Another short hike away from the crowds

Post by oldranger »

Revisit to the corkscrew tree. I was led here several years ago by a Friend who was a forest service employee who did forest inventory.This tree and all behind it are growing out of a lava flow.

That lava looks familiar. I was amazed at the lava west of Bend...a wonderful area.

Love this unique corkscrew tree photo Mike! :nod:

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org
