Time to get away...just a day trip, wanting to explore the east side of Mt. Hood.

Took 26 past Hood, then 216 towards Maupin, but turned south on Rerservation Road at Wapinitia towards Warm Springs:

I always like coming down the east side of Mt. Hood as the forest transitions to wide open spaces...

A very enjoyable ride, and nice alternative to staying exclusively on 26 to Madris. After lunch in Madras, headed north on 97 and then east on 293 to Antelope and Fossil.

Very few cars about. Temps in the mid 80s.

After Fossil, whatever trees were around...were no longer.

If you like open spaces, this is the spot:

At Fossil took 19 to Condon, then 206 to Wasco.

Then up to I-84 and fight the strong headwinds back to Gresham. Started around 10am and made it home by 7pm.
