This last September 28th I really felt like going for a hike to a trail that I went on as a kid. I called my brother to see what he was doing Saturday night and his family was out of town, I convinced him to go for a quick hike first thing in the morning. I woke Cole up about 4:30 and tossed him in the Explorer with a movie and took off up Hwy 126 towards Bend.
We got to the McKenzie River Trail Head shortly after sunrise. We started hiking towards Clear Lake. One of the main things I remember was the man made log bridge. It was a couple of miles in but pretty cool once we got there. After crossing the bridge we went another mile to mile and a half and came across Clear Lake. This is where I took my picture of my header at the top of the screen, turned out alright I think. If you ever get a chance to go hiking up there it is worth it, they have a picnic area across the freeway. It’s fairly flat, Cole was able to walk the entire thing.
Attached is a couple of scenary pictures along with my son and brother.
