Hiking without trails in southern Oregon.

One winter when spring came visiting for three weeks, Brad and I went hiking in the hills above the Sprague River. We did more than one of these hikes in different areas. The pictures on this page came from the favorite of those hikes, but I cannot give directions. I wanted to go back and do the hike again, but Brad wasn't interested at this time. If anyone might want to try and hike into these places, you might want to consider staying at Gathering Light ... a retreat, visiting Crater Lake National Park, and at the same time, asking Brad just what to do and where to go :-).
