Description
This is a 12 mile loop that guides it's way through three lakes all above 3,000 ft. First 3 miles are pretty tough but the rest is very gentle, but so deep into the wood that you can think about one thing but your unbeleivable suroundings. I suggest duing it in 3 days and takeing your time, and spending a day at each lake. There are also several areas avialable for rock climbing, although it is very technical.

Directions to Hike
Hwy 26 E out of Portland. to Madras head SE on Hwy 97 to Ochoco Devide Trial head.
