July 15: Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway

We checked with the Chamber of Commerce this morning to find out what other scenic drives and sites we should see while in the area.  Their recommendation wa the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway.  It is about an 85 mile loop.  We decided to select one section of the loop that was near about 3-5 lakes.  All in all , we probably drove about 40 miles of the loop.  With all of our stops, it took us about 4 hours.

Mt. Bachelor, elevation 9600'





The views across Crane Prairie Reservoir with Mt. Bachelor in the background were awesome.  More thrilling was to watch the four white pelicans (see lower left of photo) playing in the water.
Love and hugs,
Barb, Bailey and Linda
