A new informative walkway.
The weather turned chilly in Bend, so we drove back in the morning, stopping at the Dee Wright Observatory on McKenzie Pass.
They’ve added a new walkway, but the info signs haven’t been installed yet.
What, more lava?
We stopped at Proxy Falls on McKenzie Pass. The trail has been lengthened into a one-mile loop which accesses a second set of falls.
Lower Proxy Falls
It’s been years since I’ve been to Proxy Falls. My most vivid memory is once finding a garter snake on the trail, picking it up, and having it crap on me.
Taking a shortcut
It’s nice being back in a lush rain forest, something we don’t get in Tahoe.
Upper Proxy Falls
I’d forgotten what the upper falls look like. The water collects in a pool and then disappears into an underground stream.
Moss and stuff
The west side of old McKenzie Pass is very scenic. Remember to bring your parking pass, or you get dinged at every little stop.
She only comes out at night.
After getting back to Eugene, we joined Mom for an evening bike ride.
