An overnight trip to Clear Lake

Clear Lake from Coldwater Cove

For much of the summer we have been trying to get out to Clear Lake; source of the McKenzie River and only an hour and a half away. We finally had a window of opportunity. An early soccer game Saturday left us with most of the day available and no plans for Sunday. We loaded the bikes and kayak into Lowell and pointed him east. It was a stunningly beautiful day and we found the campground fairly empty. We enjoyed hiking, kayaking, relaxing at the campsite, listening to owls in the evening, and mountain biking all in a brief 24-hour period. It was well worth the effort to get out.
