here, but the route is obvious.
There are several downed
trees and obstacles, but pas-
sage along the edge of the
lava flow is not too difficult.
When we finally reached
the shallows of the lake, we
were surprised to see thou-
sands upon thousands of
tadpoles in various stages of
development. These were big
tadpoles — large enough, in
fact, that I’m guessing they
were the offspring of Oregon
spotted frogs, a sensitive and
endangered candidate species.
The receded shoreline
of the lake makes for easy
walking, and the rustic shel-
ter soon becomes visible
up ahead. However, there
old-fashioned fun for the
entire family. There are ani-
mals, face painting, bouncy
castle, games and crafts. The
Country Store offers home-
made preserves and relishes,
fresh produce, candy, home-
baked breads, pies, and cook-
ies, potted plants and craft
items. The Good Book has a
great selection of gently read
books. Relax under the pines
and enjoy the famous ribs and
other menu items at the Café
Transfig, finishing with the
popular home-made marion-
berry cobbler a la mode!
All funds earned at this
free event are distributed to
community support agencies.
The Episcopal Church of the
Transfiguration is located at
68825 Brooks Camp Rd., at
the corner of Hwy. 242 just
west of Sisters.
is a marshy area, fed by the
stream running into the lake,
that requires a significant
detour to the left (south) – the
extent of which depends on
the water level. Upon return-
ing to the shelter, simply fol-
low the same trail back to
the trailhead. In spite of our
wandering, exploration, and
leisurely pace, we were back
at our car in just two hours.
To enjoy this hike, simply
take the McKenzie Highway
(242) over McKenzie Pass.
The trailhead is about 4.5
miles beyond the summit. As
you approach the trailhead,
you will see a meadow open-
ing in the forest and a brown
hiker sign on the right, where
the trail begins. A wide-spot
parking area is on the left.
Since much of this hike is
within the Mt. Washington
Wilderness Area, a free wil-
derness pass is required and
available at the trailhead.
