Picture of the Day - 7/25/08

After visiting Hells Canyon (the deepest canyon cut by a river in North America, at 8,000 feet, plus) yesterday, we spent the night in Baker City, OR. Today, we drove I-84 along the Columbia River to the town of Hood River. From there, we cut south on the Mt. Hood Highway, stopping at the Timberline Lodge at the southern foot of Mt. Hood. Lupine and several other wildflowers were in bloom and made for a nice foreground element.

If you recall, the Timberline Lodge was where the movie, "The Shining" was filmed. "Here's Johnny!"
