    Prairie view and lost shoe trail
    This was a horse ride. We were able to follow the trails because of Kim McCarrel Central Oregon book and the white diamonds she put on the trees. The footing was very rocky in places.

    Lookout Mountain trail /F’n Hail Trail 804
    It’s the end of June and we got to see sun, sleet, hail, snow, sun again, hail again, so much rain, yet, it must be a special trail because it was stunning and and beautiful. Imagine what it could be if we could see more of the views. Lucien and Mike kept me going.

    Independent Mine 808
    Great hike! Lovely mix of forest and sage meadow. Ideal to hike this area in early summer to enjoy the wild flowers. On a clear day you can see all the mountains, from Tealson to even Mt. Adams in WA.

    Hike to Round Mountain
    This would be a great hike on a nice, sunny day. Today was not that day. It was hailing at the trailhead when I arrived, then drizzled in and off for a bit. As I got closer to Round Mtn the trail got muddier and muddier and more difficult to climb. But I made it, took some pics and headed back down. But then, the sun came out and the wind picked so the trail started drying out and the hike back to the car was actually really nice.
