CROOKED RIVER RANCH, Ore. Birds of prey flew in circles far below as I walked along the edge of Central Oregon’s mini Grand Canyon.
At the bottom of the sheer cliff walls, hundreds of feet down, the Crooked River flowed serenely.
The Central Oregon High Desert offers some memorable locales to hike during springtime, and the Crooked River Gorge is certainly one of them.
