Preparing to leave Corvallis. |
 |
Parked by the highway a little ways from the gate. |
 |
After the grueling uphill, the flats and meadows near Scott Lake and the lava beds. A car-free highway to ourselves...awesome! |
 |
The North and Middle Sister mountains. |
 |
On the Dee Wright observatory, and Patrick riding on the nearby observation paths. |
 |
My old Schwinn bike at the Lava Lake campsite. |
 |
Patrick Roberts on a rock that seems made for sitting and meditating. |
 |
One of the many old, slow-growing trees trying to grow on soil-free lava beds. |
 |
Panorama of Dee Wright observatory, Belnap Crater, Little Belnap Crater, Mt. Washington and Mt. Jefferson. |
 |
Stopping to climb and explore the lava beds. Patrick was in search of "Orc tunnels" (lava tubes). |
|
A ghostly Patrick eyeing little frogs near a log by Hand Lake with Mt. Washington in the distance. |
 |
Returning from Hand Lake. |
