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.

Upper High Rock Canyon Trail Hike

From Steven's Camp, we did a 1. 5 mile hike up Upper High Rock Canyon to the meadow and corral. Headed left up the bowl to a stand of Quaking Apens, then on up to the high plateau above the canyon. We then walked south along the rim, then down the south slope, across the creek, and back to camp. 

With all the hiking around the hike totaled a little over 4 miles total.

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...
