Fall on the DRT, Dillon to Benham

Each fall, I love to go out to the section of river just upstream from our house to photograph the fall colors, such as they are here in Central Oregon. Today, I walked upstream on the Deschutes River Trail from Dillon Falls to Benham Falls and back, with a plan to continue walking downstream to Lava Island or below. I was not feeling well once I had returned to Dillon Falls where my truck awaited me, so I packed it in for the day.
