Itinerary description
This is a beautiful hike up to a pair of alpine lakes, a small one and a quite large one that sit between the South Sister and the Broken Top mountains near Bend. The walk is almost all the time next to Fall Creek, which includes several small waterfalls along the way and some lovely meadows. This is the third time I try this hike. The two previous times it was too early in the season and the trail was snowed in. It is a popular trail, so it is best to plan a week day to hike it up.

Almost exactly one year later and it's still too snowed in for us to get to for a hike! Looks nice! Thanks for sharing
