It hosts winter and summer steelhead runs and the river's threatened Coho salmon too.

The falls themselves, gorgeous hike, big trees.

Deschutes River Ride

We did the rails to trails Deschutes River Trail. It goes 18 miles upstream from the confluence with the Columbia River.

An old railroad car in surprisingly good shape, just like the rider.

It's sagebrush country for sure.
