I had a friend come to visit yesterday who had never been to this beautiful part of Oregon. We went to Paulina Peak (one heck of a drive up on a one lane road) and took some pictures at sunset. Thought you all might enjoy this!

Wow---those are absolutely gorgeous. I have never been to Oregon before and I see I am missing quite a bit. Will have to add it to my bucket list. Thanks for sharing!

WOW those are really stunning.

How awesome to be able to see that in person! :lol:

How beautiful!

Thank you -- and if you haven't been to Oregon -- this is only ONE peak you can get on top of! Oregon has such a variety....desert, high desert (where I am), Cascade Mountains, Valley (where Portland, Salem, Eugene are located) and the coast. ALL of them have such a different variety of sites.....I've been here all my life, traveled to many other states and still love Oregon the best.

It's beautiful! When are you inviting the rest of us to come and visit?

ANY time!!! up until Nov 1 that is...then we're heading south.....AWAY from my sewing machine!!!!! :shock:

What a beautiful part of the world you are lucky to live in!! Thanks for sharing your fantastic photo's with us all :D

Beautiful pictures! I don't know much about Oregon, but when you say desert, and high desert, is it like Arizona desert?
