    Hot Spring Weekend

    The Alvord hot spring are also very cool. Crystal Crane for me is the best place to relax and enjoy yourself without having to worry about anything (tents, cold, ect...). It is definitely a drive, however if it wasn't too many people would be in that area.

Also here in Oregon the weather is pretty crappy so rock climbing on wet rocks might not be the best thing. You are right about rock climbing being a "wonderful sport" I did some climbing at a...
