Metolius River
Yep--it's a long drive, but it's a pretty one with a unique destination and several attractions. The hike starts at the Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery and goes past where the Metolius dramatically begins with a dozen springs bursting out from the base of Black Butte. Depending on time, we can also take a look at Camp Sherman and Suttle Lake. I'm familiar with the Suttle Lake area but have not done this hike. It is, however, a popular trail with straightforward directions. Bring water, lunch, and snacks. Register by July 4 (no texts, please).
