We hiked Angel's Rest on Saturday with Mike and Katie. It was pretty close to hell on Earth until we reached the top and, oh my, what a view! It was spectatcular! Well worth the the pain, that's for sure. It was a 2.3 mile hike up and was pretty steep most of the time. Our knees even hurting coming down because of how steep it was. I've now got the bug and want to hike every week. Dustin, on the other hand, hasn't yet been inspired, maybe one day.
Don't mind my red face and sweaty body. An apple has never tasted so good!!
How could you not be inspired by that view?! I mean I've lived in this state all of my life and the Gorge offers some of the most breathtaking views. This Dustin guy sounds like a 'flatlander'--maybe you should try exploring caves (may I recommend the lava tube just outside of Bend). Then again you might just leave him at pub in Sisters and go explore the beautiful Three Sisters Wilderness area.
