It's been a whirlwind of a visit which is, sadly, drawing to an end.
We have had a great time with Utley and hope we didn't wear him out schlepping him from vista to view point to lava bed to mountain top and back!
Here are some photos from this weeks activities.
We walked along the river trail, Deschutes River Canyon area

We drove over McKenzie Pass, stopping at the Mt Washington view point, to the Dee Wright Observatory

We went to lunch on the top of Mt Bachelor

| The chairlift seems so high up when there is no snow on the ground |

| Hey! No horseplay on the chair!! |
A lovely walk along Todd Lake

We have had a great time with Utley and hope he has enjoyed himself as well. It was fun to be a tourist in our own town too.
