The young explorers stand on a precipse in the Blue Mountains of Oregon, their eyes drinking in the sights and sounds of this remote wilderness. From this vantage point, high atop Lookout Mountain, the rugged Wallowa Mountains are visible to the east as well as Idaho to the northeast and Washington to the north. (Not visible in the picture ~ only to the explorers standing on the brink). Looking closely and with a little patience, these same explorers will experience the thrills of watching elk, deer, moose, black bear and yes, a few wolves roaming the canyons. Such wonderful discoveries await our little expedition. Lewis and Clark had nothing on these guys...

Boy, how awesome is that picture? You can see that it has a magnificent view from the shot and your description of what else can be seen (but not visible in the picture) is just fantastic.
Wow, that looks like a lot of fun. I love nature and walking around looking to see what I can find.
I would love to stand there, too. That's one part of our state that I really want to explore one of these days.

What a gorgeous photo! I remember seeing view similar to that one when we drove through the Oregon mountains last summer.
I am loving your blog! I wandered over from Tipper's blog (which I just adore). Boy am I ever glad!
I also wanted to let you know that you can enter to win a free subscription to GRIT magazine right now... Go to the contests tab on my site.

I love, love, love this photo Paula! It looks like it would be on the cover of National Geographic or Sunset!
Hi Paula!
I'm so glad that you liked the site! My blog (before changing to the new format) covered all of those topics with multiple posts. I suppose I do the great majority of my writing in Simple Living and in Family these days. If you click on any post, look on the right side and you'll see a section called "Recent Posts." That should help.
Blessings and thanks!

What a great picture and post. They really do like explorers viewing their coming adventure. Wouldn't it have been neat to have been one of those first explorers of our country.
what a wonderful fun time of discovery...
your young explorers look like they were having a great time!!!
Oh, that sounds like such fun! Our neighborhood farm, where we buy produce, had a bear sighting yesterday. And we found what we think is bear scat in our front yard! But we don't have such beautiful scenery as that!
xoxo,
