Whychus Canyon Preserve - A Hike to the Bottom
Hello again everyone! Here are some shots I took during a little hike in the Whychus Canyon Preserve in Central Oregon. There is close to 8 miles of trails inside the preserve. On this hike I will be going down into the canyon to the banks of Whychus Creek. A little over 2 mile round trip down and up the canyon. I have shared a couple other posts about hikes on this creek. One was nearer the source, the snow capped mountains you can see in the first picture and one near the terminus where it flows into the Deschutes River.

A shot from the west end of the preserve as I prepare to start the descent into the canyon. You can see the snow capped peaks of the Cascade Mountain Range in the distance.
A view of the canyon and the start of the serious downhill part of the trail on the right side. :)
A couple more views of the canyon as I begin to dip under the rim.
My first view of the water as it winds its way through the canyon.
I am about halfway down and here are two shots of the exposed rim rock on the other side.
Some of the exposed rim rock on my side of the canyon. I love the different colors and textures. A real rock hounds delight. :)
Finally at the bottom. Time to enjoy a little snack and immerse myself in the sights and sounds of nature for a while.
A final look at some of the rocks on the opposite side of the creek before I begin my ascent out of the canyon.
This shot is from a hike I did there 6 months earlier. It is at the east end of the preserve and shows the creek winding its way to the Deschutes River.

Thank you!
oh wow
almost as if i was watching an old movie
nice scenery and the river too!
It does have that old west Oregon Trail vibe. Part of the trails in the preserve actually follow the Santiam Wagon Road built in 1861. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiam_Wagon_Road
Santiam Wagon Road
The Santiam Wagon Road was a freight route in the U.S. state of Oregon between the Willamette Valley and Central Oregon regions from 1865 to the 1930s. It is considered one of the most important historical routes in the state. Officially known as the Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain Wagon Road, the Santiam Wagon Road was built between 1861 and 1868 and operated as a toll road until 1915. In 1925, the road was turned over to the State of Oregon for use as a highway.
As always, I am so impressed by your photos of these great landscapes and your cool hikes - thank you for one more amazing post, @oldmans 😊
