July: Central Oregon base camp and Salmon River rafting

Paulina Creek

 In July we spent a week and a half roaming around central Oregon from our home base in Bend.  A couple of overnighters to Little Lava Lake and to Crater Lake were interspersed with day trips and some quality time hanging out in Bend.  After returning to work for a week I headed to Idaho for an eight day rafting trip on the main Salmon River.  I finally got to see and experience a slice of the Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness.  Great trips, great month.
