@L_D_G near Bend?
@Call_Me_Kim Observatory on McKenzie Loop
@L_D_G ahh! Haven't been to the observatory but have been in the area several times. It's absolutely beautiful and one of my favorite places!
@Call_Me_Kim area is fantastic. Depending on how outdoorsy you are, if you go to the Observatory, hike the Proxy Falls Loop trail. Absolutely incredible.
@L_D_G I've heard of the falls and have seen pics. Will definitely add to my Oregon hiking list! 😁
@Call_Me_Kim You'll find the trail head if you take the loop. Not a long hike.
I meant to do a thread of pics... suppose I could as well, but my timeline will also act as such. Proxy Falls, which were a huge surprise and absolute stunning. Comparable to Bridal Veil Falls in Spearfish, SD and Fairy Falls in Yellowstone.
You can hike right up to the base of all three and part way up the right side of all of them...I have done so.
