Deb's Photo Album

For the first half of my vacation week in July, I headed off to Eastern Oregon for a camping trip. This was a solo trip, so unfortunately not many pictures of me in there (sorry, Mom and Dad!)

(106K) 500 x 375 Some nice scenery along the road...
(119K) 500 x 375

(131K) 500 x 375 Don't remember exactly where this was...
(121K) 400 x 533 I found some nice roads to play with :)

(133K) 500 x 327 Monica, this is for you... Never heard of the famous espresso wagons on the Oregon Trail? Yeah, thought you'd be amused!
(102K) 400 x 390 My first destination... The Wallowa Mountains. For the Oregon impaired, this is in the far northeastern corner of the state.

(92K) 500 x 375 Where I camped the first night, near Wallowa Lake... (Seth, I think this is the one I took while I was talking to you)
(133K) 500 x 375 This one too. I really like this picture...

(109K) 400 x 533 I took a very steep tram ride to somewhere near the summit of Mt. Howard (about 8200 ft?)...
(118K) 400 x 533 On the tram...

(108K) 500 x 375 On the tram...
(98K) 400 x 533 Okay, so it was a little touristy...

(98K) 500 x 375 There was a short (2.5 miles?) hike to do from there, with views like this!
(93K) 500 x 375 And like this from the other side of the mountain.

(161K) 400 x 533 Along that trail...
(108K) 500 x 375 Some tenacious alpine flowers up there

(90K) 400 x 533 I just thought this trail marker looked cool.
(107K) 400 x 576 Rented an awful inflatable 'kayak" on Wallowa Lake one day... Couldn't steer it worth anything, but oh well, it was a beautiful day to be floating around a lake!

(109K) 400 x 576 I'm told these were osprey nesting up there... (also seen from the kayak)
(131K) 400 x 533 Before leaving the Wallowas, I did one more hike, at Hurricane Creek -- here's one shot from there.

(112K) 399 x 516 Then it was off to Hell's Canyon...
(89K) 500 x 375 At this Hell's Canyon overlook you can see the Seven Devils Mountains (on the Idaho side of the canyon)... Can't see the Snake River from here though.

(99K) 500 x 375 Also at the overlook.
(100K) 500 x 375 I think this fun (and rather photogenic) road was the one leading to that overlook.

(97K) 500 x 375 Finally made it around to the Hell's Canyon Dam -- here it is.
(133K) 400 x 533 Here's the view downriver from the dam, near sunset. To the right is Idaho, to the left is Oregon.

(94K) 400 x 533 Hell's Canyon reservoir, behind the dam.
(113K) 500 x 375 I guess I forgot to take a picture of my tent in Idaho, but this is the phone at that campground -- Merrill, I left you that check-in message from here. Note the rattlesnake danger. Yikes! :)

(134K) 400 x 578 Time for some real adventure... Whitewater rafting on the Snake River through Hell's Canyon. Wow, this was amazing... Here's one of our guides giving us the requisite safety talk to begin our day.
(102K) 500 x 343 There's me enjoying one of the more calm parts of the river

(128K) 400 x 584 Our other guide, "Fearless" Fred, paddling along...
(93K) 500 x 343 How 'bout that whitewater! I don't remember which rapid this was... I think one of the 3's.

(118K) 400 x 490 This speaks for itself. By the way, more pics may show up here once I get the other waterproof roll developed...
(129K) 500 x 375 Just had to take this picture along the drive back... Look! A whole flock of landmanatees! Or is it a school? A herd?
