A change in the weather
Posted By Heather on June 12, 2010
After such a gorgeous day in the Klamath canyon, the next day was not looking so good. Squalls coming over the mountains looked suspiciously wicked. Since we had worked our way around the Klamath Basin and all the fishable water was muddy, we decided we may as well head for home and be dry and warm. We went the long way to see some more rivers on the way.
So we headed up HWY 62 thinking we might cut through Crater Lake Park. But that squall came down right on us and started putting some snow down. We got to the park entrance and the guy at the gate told us the north exit was closed due to snow, so we abandoned the park plan and headed on down toward the Rogue. Hit the Rogue, hang a right, head upriver, over the pass, hang a left at Diamond Lake, and…..
wait a second, I’m not gonna be specific about this next little gem.
Up and down, back and forth, everywhere we found her, she was just that pretty. It kept pouring rain though and I was feeling delicate, and like not fishing in the drops of water, so we just looked at it, and I made a big ol mental note of it, and we headed back for pavement and down the road.
Rounded out the trip with checking every ramp on the North Fork Umpqua all the way to where the north and south fork meet up. Some absolutely spectacular country that was being subjected to Junuary rain storm. All worth another look, another day. Didn’t take as many photos as I should have. Some things reeally stand out in my mind, but I have nothing to post except this one at Colliding Rivers at Glide.
