This blog will record some of the trips we make throughout Oregon and other places.
We enjoy wandering off the beaten path whenever possible. Come wander with us!

The Santiam Pass - Hwy 20/126 - December 13, 2009


Snow Park at the top of the Santiam Pass - this family was having a great time!



The snow was packed, and the blue skies were beautiful.


This is part of the area of the B & B Complex Fires which burned 90,769 acres in the Santiam Pass area
between August 19 and September 26 of 2003.
Photos and specifics of this inferno can be found at this link:

You can see the standing dead trees in many of these pictures.

The roads were packed snow and ice, so it was a slower journey than usual.
