Fun hike lots to see.  Water was so clear and the pools really looked opal in color. We went slower on this one because there was so much to see.

Whetstone Trail Summit Decent
by flister98 on Sep 21, 2011
Jawbone Flats (historical), Oregon, United States
3.5 miles
A four mile hike from the parking area and a 3.5 mile hike with a brutal 13-15% non-stop incline from the trail head. The trail is full of switchbacks, and slope on both sides of the trail. There are some logs which make good resting spots, but become fewer the higher you go. No place to set camp until you get to the top, and you would probably want to make sure...
