Alder Springs Trail

Looking down into the Whychus Canyon from Alder Springs Trail

It was a perfect early spring day for a hike and I chose Alder Springs Trail.  I had been here before, but I did not go all the way to the confluence of the Whychus and the Deschutes that time.  This time I did and it turns out to be one of my new favorite places.  So much to see along this trail through a canyon oasis.  It is just starting to green up and spring sights and sounds were everywhere.  I will be back.
