The Beginning, the Journey and the End
My Fave 5 Oregon Lake Trails
 | | Mirror Lake; Wikipedia |
I find a tremendous satisfaction in circumventing a lake: the beginning, the journey, and the end. With the water off one shoulder and the forest off the other, a narrow lake trail lures me away from civilization and the weighty concerns of the world. Hike, mountain bike, or snowshoe, I let the seasons and the gentle winds of whimsy guide me on my way. Here are five of my favorite lake trails in Oregon. Even though each trail begins and ends in the same place, I'm always better for having taken the journey. On my Fav 5 List: Ski Anthony Lakes, Suttle Lake, Detroit Lake, Mirror Lake & Crescent Lake. Get the details here! Post your adventure here.
