The Pendung Semurup waterfalls, approximately 15-20 meters in height, can be found on the eastern hills near the town of Semurup, and are reached after an easy, roughly one hour hike through relatively flat farmland and agroforest. Be prepared to get your feet wet wading through a few mountain streams on your way there! See more detailed descriptions here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.599289883456558.1073741...

Here today, gone tomorrow. Notice how many precariously placed rocks there are. Oddly, it looks as if this falls is only about 3 feet high, but it is actually more like 15 ft.

"Pleasants Valley Road, northern California"
Leaving Pleasants Valley Road and the Vaca Valley below, Gates Valley Road climbs thru oak tree canopies and a few ranch homes into foothills, turning to dirt road before topping-out on Vaca Mountain. Springs keep much of this vegetation green, and there is a small stream in the creek to the right, where water plants can be seen, along with a dragonfly or two. Wildlife appears to have a good chance in this environment, and deer might be seen alongside the road. Those I spotted were unconcerned at my presence.
Century Farms and Small Town Charm Along The Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County Oregon
Spent a beautiful early summer day exploring small towns and century farms along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County. Baker County is home to more than two dozen Oregon Century Farms and Ranches and the Elkhorn Scenic Byway and back roads along the way, are a great way to explore this working landscape of the American West.
Small towns along the way like Haines and Baker City offer visitors a glimpse at small town Americana at its best.
This scenic byway circles through the Elkhorn mountains of Northeast Oregon beginning and ending in Baker City and passing through small towns like Sumpter, Granite, and Haines. The drive is incredibly scenic with wide open panoramic views across the Baker valley, high alpine forests, and following pristine rivers and creeks along the way. In the winter Anthony Lakes is home to Oregon's highest base elevation ski resort. In the summer the pristine alpine lake is a fishing and camping destination.
