Deschutes River Redux
Back in early June we returned for the second year to a campground near the place where the Deschutes River empties into the mighty Columbia. It's far enough east of Portland to be in the desert, so it's a very different landscape and ecosystem from what we're used to. There are some nice, easy hikes through the hills and, of course, the river itself, which offers opportunities to splash in the cold water or watch birds, of which there are many.
