Day 32 - Cline Falls
Today's trailhead run-in is along a road.
And into the Deschutes River canyon.
These juniper berries are prized in the local moonshine gin industry.
More of those abstract sculpture rocks.
That glyph is believed to be a warning about the obvious dangers of this area.
Cline Falls do not disappoint.
The Deschutes disappears into a slot canyon.
Beyond the slot canyon, the other half of the river goes over Cline Falls.
The US Navy's experimental plant-based Mushroom Cap Rebar. This version can be grown in natural rock. Future versions may be grown in concrete. The Mushroom Cap is edible, and high in protein, suitable as field rations for US Navy Seals.
The Team assesses our next move in these badlands.
The falls spill in so many spots - each one creates a unique spray pattern.
The canyon slot and the falls in the distance. This is as close to the edge as we are willing to go!
The falls are covered with greenery.
Beyond the badlands.
Yet another colony of Brain Moss. Once again, they have been stumped by the lack of an internet connection. Good thing, too.
Winter colours still abound on the canyon floor.
