This hike is four miles south of Sisters, OR, on a forest service road. It’s a hike on an easy trail following Whychus Creek (pronounced why-choose). The area around Sisters has rich but thin volcanic soil over igneous rock. Swift flowing Whychus Creek has been cutting through this to form a modest scenic canyon. Away from the creek the landscape is semiarid; rainfall is reasonably abundant, but the thin soil retains water poorly.
Scars from a fire two years ago are slowly healing. The trail was mostly easy walking, with a few hundred yards of scrambling over steep, rocky sections.

Fire scars are so interesting to walk in. That looks like a beautiful trail, especially the canyons.
