Oregon Hikers

Awesome TR. Wonderful pics. I have always been fascinated by this region, and these are some of the best pictures I have seen. Really captures this unique place. Essentially this is the only part of California that features "Basin and Range" geography, a western outpost of the hundreds of miles of b...

How were the skeeters up there?
