This has become one of my favorite places to stop when heading south. There are several comping options, all very reasonable in price, and the scenery is great. I’m in a county park next to the Deschutes River (like, yards away) for $10 dry-camping. And no one else is here.
When the sun goes down, the temperatures will drop into the low forties because I’m at 4200 feet elevation. That’s the warning that autumn is on it’s way and I had better pay attention to the mountains.
