Rim Drive around Crater Lake offers many majestic views. Although the road is paved, it isn’t an easy ride. There can be lots of cars (avoid weekends and holidays), and there isn’t a flat section to be found. As a rider you’ll do lots of climbing.
Today’s photo of Ryan is of one of those brief downhill moments.
This little, single-parent family has been living in my backyard recently. They aren’t very nervous around me either. I was only about 15 feet away when I took this.
A few nights back we had a really intense, and really short, lightning storm. The next morning I woke up to this view out the window.
Revisiting one of my favorite places in Southern Oregon, the Avenue of Giant Boulders.
I always seem to get really bad jet lag. This trip home has been no exception. The jet lag seems to get worse before it gets better. It’s 4 in the morning on night 3 after returning, and I’ve been wide awake since 2 so I decided to take this pic from the back deck instead of lay in bed any longer. The photo didn’t come out very well. Things looked far more magical in person. With my natural eyes I could see the Milky Way, and the moon is a beautiful crescent. I guess I need a tripod, less moisture in the air, and/or a better camera to make this shot really work.
Can you see the Seven Sisters (Pleiads)?
The hike to this lake is not very difficult. It is a bit under 2 miles each way from the trail head. Next time I want to take the more difficult, 9.6-mile loop trail that takes you above this lake and right by the Long Gulch Lake.
The location is northern California, about an hour and a half south of Ashland.
A different point of view of Mt. McLoughlin in Southern Oregon…
Table Rock in Medford makes for a great hike or a great view from any angle.
