Our last morning is a beauty, blue skies and lots of sunshine, which we put to good use drying out tent flys. In order to save some distance we take a log crossing across Canyon Creek, then some old back roads before private property forces us to hike the main road.

Eventually we are able to take road 610 which takes us to the Allingham Bridge. We continue up the East Metolius Trail through Allingham and Camp Sherman Campgrounds to our car at Camp Sherman. Our trip is celebrated with deli sandwiches at the Camp Sherman Store.

After lunch we stopped at the Headwaters of the Metolius to enjoy the views and take some photos of where the Metolius River flows right out of the ground, and of some of the friendly Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels.
