More Bend

Friday, September 30

I explored some dirt trails as I was looking for a paved trail that follows the Deschutes River.

I tried to follow this trail for a while hoping to gain access to the river but it seemed to end. My tires are not suited to this kind of riding so I was forced to retrace my steps and take a road down to the river. I did find it and enjoyed riding around & down to the main part of town.








The Deschutes River. After messing this river up for the last 100 years, they are now in the process of restoring it. In part, this involves placing over 100 trees in the water to change the flow & modify the silting that is happening.

I also observed some rapids with people on boards and others on Standup paddle boards.
