The Duffel Bag: Oregon's Badlands Wilderness

Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.

Down distant paths for unmapped miles.

Heads forget but hearts remember:

The art of living knows no bounds.

Sleep doesn't help if it's your soul that's tired.

Oregon's Badlands Wilderness

About 20 miles East of Bend, Oregon. There are 50+ miles of hiking trail in Oregon's Badlands Wilderness. Over the next few years I am going to try to hike all of them.

It is kind of a Juniper and Sage wasteland, but I'm drawn to that. Thinking maybe backpack the longer trails and link up some shorter ones. I don't know for sure yet, but the Badlands in on my list!

This was a short 3 mile loop on the Ancient Juniper Trail and the Flatiron Rock Trail...
