This is Proxy Falls in Central Oregon on a rainy September day. I had a great time there - a lovely hike with no one around in the early morning. The hardest part was having to cross the creek to find a better vantage point. The jagged, slippery rocks and ice cold water made it quite challenging...
The North Beach area of Pistol River State Scenic Viewpoint in Southern Oregon is indeed quite scenic. I was lucky enough to have this nice sunrise color a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks Monika. If I ever get back there, I'll try for early morning.
