Exposure to the charms and
enchantments of the Three Sis

would remain faithful to more
prosaic and better advertised
summer pleasure spots.

malting an addict of you over
night. The development of this re
gion's tourist accommodations,
unlike the fast boating area of
the lower McKenzie, is only now
getting under way. Lately, en
thusiastic Californians, who in
stinctively know how to please
travelers, are investing in first
iass cabins, motels, restau
rants, recreation areas and even
a beauty parlor, so sold are they
on this region.

Even the Dominican fathers

I more than a quarter of a million

students studying for the priest

the writer and his family visited
scores of fine cabins strung
along the fast, sparkling Mc
Kenzie. We stayed at Laughing Waters

huge stone fireplace in the living

But if the fishing is fabulous,
the hiking is nothing less than
spectacular. There is the ex
citement of discovering Sahalie
and Koosah waterfalls, two of
the finest in Oregon; the thrill
of journeys to the Three Sisters
and the lava beds beyond and
a trek to cold Clear lake, or to
warm, shallow Fish lake nearby.
Clear lake was created when
volcanic flows dammed the can

than 1000 years old. The reser-

Volcanoes Active
Dr. Howell Williams, Univer
sity of California geologist who
studied the Three Sisters region,
believes there was more vol
'.anic activity there during the
past few thousand years since
the time of Christ than in any
other part of the high Cascades.
Evidences of later gladers
that gouged out the old volca
noes can be seen along the Mc
Kenzie highway. The North Sis
ter, largest and oldest of the
Three Sisters group, offers good
hiking trails at its base and on
its slopes gives a moderate test
to the skilled mountaineer.
Here, then, is a vacation land
with an enchanting and seduc
tive past, once a cinder box
of Hades." now a Thoreau-like
land of surprises, like heated
swimming pools, an air strip
for winged travelers, good roads,
covered bridges, restaurants,
first-class motels and cabins,
beauty parlors and cpclctail
lounges.
