Oregon Hiking Trails

Photo of the South Sister taken from the Green Lakes

Below are some links to Oregon hiking trail information. My sister lives in the Bend area of Oregon and my wife and I have hiked several of the trails in the area. Our favorite was the Todd Lake Trail which took us way up into the Three Sisters Wilderness area. We made it all the way up to the 'Green Lakes' and really enjoyed the experience. We also hiked the McKenzie River trail which was also beautiful.
