For the most part, the scenery was pleasant. As mentioned the mountains mostly resemble rolling hills, and the trails were benign.

We couldn't find a truly difficult leg stretcher or "grind", though we were limited by the shrinking amount of daylight this time of year.

The biggest highlight of our #Oregon trip was one trail south of Ashland near the end of our trip, Wagner Butte.

By this time we had lowered our expectations for most trail descriptions in the area and even as we approached the end we thought that it would be another "ho hum" trail.

Instead there was a bit of a scramble up large boulders to a proper 360° view, enhanced by fog. Yay!!!

A few trees are spotted behind large boulders in the foreground. Behind them, below, is clouds obscuring forests.

On a couple of days I did some #photography experiments, one with shadows (mostly my own). No filters or any post processing on this.
