离开Sisters, 开上OR-242 (Byway的南线), 往西南穿行在Deschutes国家森林里, 越爬越高 -- 目标: 海拔5234英尺的McKenzie Pass。



1. 途中, 在Windy Point, 近望遍地黝黑的古熔岩, 远眺Cascades山脉, 颇有些荡气回肠的意思~~



2. North, Middle Sisters, 她俩都有有趣的别名 --  North叫Ugly Sister(还好她不会开口骂人~~), Middle叫Hope或妹妹山。这个方向看不到叫Charity的姐姐山(South Sisters):



3. Mckenzie Pass最高点的Dee Wright Observatory -- 一个用黑熔岩石头堆起来的开放式的了望站。开建于大萧条时代, 1935年完工:



4. 里面专为眺望远处Cascades山峰堆砌的窗口。天气好时, 从这里可以望见包括Mt.Hood, Mt.Washington 和North, Middle Sisters在内的19个峰! 给个五星强荐~~





此Sisters远眺彼Sisters~~



5. 当天要回家, 所以没多停留。继续西行, 在Willamette国家森林里穿行一段后, 在路旁看到了我在网上仰慕已久的Proxy瀑布trail head的木牌标识。立马停好车,迫不及待一睹芳容~~

Trail一路的两旁都是古老的森林和遍地的黑熔岩, 最后一段得朝下走很陡的一个长坡, 有1,2处需手脚并用地爬行-- 爸妈和小的们就在上面歇着听水声了~  我一人到了瀑布下, 下面这几张就是抬头低头都让我醉的:



这是我迄今为至看到的最秀美的瀑布...尤其喜欢满是青苔的断木, 山壁和大小的卧石们:



瀑布分2段, 照片上的是Lower Proxy Falls, 高226', 由North Sisters的山泉(Proxy和Shadow Creeks)汇流跌落而成。今年没空了, 明年秋天还想去 -- 据说, 这里的秋色更是让人惊艳!





Proxy瀑布是最被摄影和瀑布控们青睐的Oregon瀑布。如果你有一本Oregon的风景挂历, 里面多半会有它的倩影。也给一五星强荐, 可别怪我的五星太多哟~~~~~
