Opal Creek in the rain

Went hiking at Opal Creek, east side of Willamette Valley, Cascade foothills, North Fork of Santiam. From heavy mist, to drizzle, to flat out rain. Seemed like this was the only place in the valley that got rain today!  You can see we were using umbrellas.  Because of rain, took only a few pix.  7 miles round trip to the Opal Creek Education center. Easy walking on a one lane gravel road.





Remnants of mining operations are found along the way.

The Education Center is in location of mining town from early 1900s.
