Steelhead Falls

We took a short hike yesterday to Steelhead Falls, a small waterfall on the Deschutes River in the Crooked River Ranch area North of Redmond.  It was a short one-half mile walk along the river to the falls.  The river was beautiful, with several fly-fishermen trying their luck.  The trail was rather steep and we had to be careful of the loose gravel, etc.  But it was well worth the short hike.

This hike was a warm-up for a longer hike at Smith Rocks tomorrow.
