It looks like a great time to go. Although how is the water for those rafters? Cold?? Maybe not given the swimmers in that gorgeous colored Devil’s Lake. Or perhaps they are Canadians! Love the falls tumbling through the lava shoot and that huge ponderosa. Giving that one a hug would be super since they smell so fantastic. Sorry to hear your plantar fasciitis is still affecting your hiking but how terrific that you could find easy AND uncrowded ones that look wonderful. Love falls big, little or through lava shoots. How fantastic to see both Vic and Pam and Laurel and Eric. I’d love to catch up with them both. Haven’t heard from Vic and Pam for ages.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213114113819017671.post-60661019504077933752016-09-24T06:29:55.469-07:002016-09-24T06:29:55.469-07:00The weather is iffy in Sept. too!

When we were going there, we went in June and the weather was always iffy, I think one year out of three it was great. Are you mountain biking any? I hope your foot improves, PF is just the pits.

The trail that takes off above it takes you to some more smaller but still beautiful falls. It can be crowded on weekends up there so early on a weekday is better. If your foot is feeling better also Smith Rock is a great hike and workout.
