Wood River Marsh (8/10)

This is another stream, this one in southern Oregon, south of Crater Lake National Park. The grassland that you see is all part of Wood River Valley and is one of the richest grasslands, in terms of raising cattle, in the world. Two to three times as many cattle can be raised per acre here, because of the fertility of the land and the richness of the grasses.

I’ve spent more hours than I can count, fishing this river for rainbow, brook, and brown trout. This is also very near (about 6 miles) from where I have camped almost half of the entire time I’ve been camping.

I wasn’t kidding when I said that this was south of Crater Lake, either. This image faces north and the mountains in the distance are part of the park.
