If you've never hiked along the Metolius River in central Oregon, you've missed out on a marvelous scenic experience.
My six minute You Tube'd movie of the walk we took upstream from the Wizard Falls fish hatchery will give you a feel for what this 2.5 mile section of the Metolius is like.
In short, beautiful. (This description of the hike starts from the campground, not the hatchery, but covers the same stretch of the river.)
I mangle the name of the hatchery at the start of the video. For some reason I kept throwing in "creek." After that, my narration rolls along pretty smoothly.
Be sure to watch to the end. You don't want to miss the shot of a peanut butter sandwich eating dog. (Hollywood animal actor agents: Serena and I are available, and we work for, well, peanuts.)
Wanta watch some fish feed? Go to Echo Bay marina at Lake Mead. I buy a loaf of bread and have a time of my life.
