Oregon’s Lakes

Over the past couple days we’ve been walking through Oregon’s Three Sisters Wilderness and I have fallen in love with the area. In my head I affectionately refer to it as “Oregon’s Lake District,” specifically the roughly 50 miles between Odell Lake to Elk lake, miles 1907-1953 on the PCT.

Over these miles we have seen dozens of picturesque ponds, lakes, swimming holes, and fishing spots. I can’t wait to come back to explore this area even more slowly in the future. Here are just a few photos from this magical place.
