Description:
The Badlands a 29,000 acre wilderness east of Bend. The primary goal is to hike the Dry River Canyon Trail which is closed from Feb. to Aug. 31st during raptor breeding season. We will also include other hikes in the area. Camping will be in the Crooked River Canyon. The camp ground just above the bank of the Crooked River has both water and good bathrooms. Participants will need to bring breakfast, lunch and snacks. We will go into Prineville for dinner. The weather at the end of October, you can plan on very cool nights. Day time temps can be warm and pleasant. You need to be prepared for both warm and cold conditions. I will call everyone prior to leaving
