This outing is full. To add your name to the wait list, click the yellow “Register Now” button above.
Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Carol Wall to explore the 150-year old Santiam Wagon Road at Whychus Canyon Preserve. Hike back in time and imagine traveling west in a wagon train to transport wool from Eastern Oregon to the Willamette Valley, or east to graze livestock on the grasses of the desert. Observe the signs and symbols that are still visible along the trail today, helping to tell the story of travel and commerce in the high desert. Then, explore the site of an early homestead. Registration is required and opens 1 month prior to the event. This outing will only proceed if pandemic conditions allow.
