Where the Wild Things Grow

That hike I mentioned? It was a path along the Metolius River. That’s Native American for White Fish.

There were waterfalls

White-water rapids

Towering Pines

A fisherman

Plenty of hungry rainbow trout

I mentioned the white-water rapids, didn’t I?

And the trout? Look, see ’em! Aren’t they something?

There were some gal-pals, of course

By way of Georgia

There was eye-squinting sunshine all the day long

Oregon trees are no match for strong-hearted southern women

Some ice-cream & snow-capped mountains

To top off the day.

The Wild and Scenic Metolius River flows 28.6 miles from the Metolius Spring in the Deschutes National Forest, forms the forest boundary, and empties into Lake Billy Chinook. The Metolius is one of the largest spring-fed rivers in the country. The upper 11.5 miles, within the Deschutes, is a popular destination for whitewater boating, catch and release flyfishing, and camping. Only hatchery rainbow trout, kokanee salmon, and whitefish may be taken from the river.

Just my way of inviting you along. Hope you enjoyed it.
