#travel oregon

I recreated a photo I took of my campsite from Mt. Thielsen Creek from last weekend.  I embellished it a bit with the deer (which I actually saw but wasn’t able to photograph in time).  If you’d like to see the original, check my other tumblr theoregonscout

An ode to one of my favorites! 

On the way to San Francisco, I found Myrtle Creek, Oregon.

Today at Abiqua.

Autumn strolls.

Wet, windy and awesome.  Starting the free hanging simul-rappel off Sky Chimney at Smith Rock, OR.  

Hiking through the clouds at Smith Rock State Park.

Sunset walks on Glacier Lake.

One of the best tent views I’ve had.  I’m certain I’ve fallen in love with the Eagle Cap Wilderness.

Spent the weekend in the Wallowas climbing up granite and drinking whisky by the lake.

Camp shoes and camp views. I love taking my Teva’s backpacking.  Nothing quite compares to freeing your feet from hiking shoes at the end of a long day.

A rare photo of me on the top of Mt. Thielsen, happy as a clam.  

Weekends are for long backpacking trips, dirty toes, kind bars, wine in a platypus and moments like these.
