Good day to everyone! Here is another collection of roadtrip roadside photos I have taken over the last few years in the states of Washington and Oregon. So follow along for a quick visual tour of some of the roadside sights in the Great Pacific Northwest!

Taken along the Crooked River Highway 27 just outside of Prineville in Central Oregon. This is a very pretty drive along the Crooked River as it winds through the canyon to the dam at the Prineville Reservoir. Unfortunately I was still inexperienced with my new camera so a lot of the shots didn't turn out too well. Looking forward to heading back was things start to open up again. :)
The beginning of the Trout Lake Valley in south central Washington state taken from the Glenwood/Trout Lake HWY. It is some 20 miles long and is a growing mecca, especially for organic agriculture. I lived at the head of this valley in the small town of Trout Lake for about 2 years before excessive snow drove us away.
This is Horsethief Butte taken in the eastern part of The Columbia River Gorge just off of HWY 14 in Washington.
A rock formation along the Methow Valley HWY 153 just outside the small town of Methow in north central Washington.
A bridge on Otter Crest Loop. A side road off of HWY 101 the Oregon Coast near Depoe Bay.
An alpine meadow on a forest road near Three Creeks Lake south of where I live.

Devils Lake on the Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway.
Photos taken by me, @oldmans, with a Nikon D3300 and some Lightroom post processing.
Hope you enjoyed the tour! Feel free to leave your comments and questions.Thanks for looking and enjoy your day!
These photos are amazing @oldmans! I can't wait for quarantine to be lifted to be able to get out and enjoy my Canon...
Thank you @pattyalexx! I'm lucky we live in an area where we can get out and walk in the woods. Still though, there is a lot of other places I would like to go that are closed right now. Thanks for stopping by. :)
@oldmans my pleasure! It's been nearly 60 days to me quarantining in an apartment... It's not easy at all, you're very lucky :)
Sorry to hear that. Hope things get better for you and yours soon. 😃
My adult daughter and I toured Oregon in 2016 . We too drove the Cascade Lakes Byway and stopped at Devil's Lake . That water is a strange color ! Your photos prompted me to review the photos from my trip again . Tx !
It is a beautiful drive! We did it a few years ago when we first moved to the area. Unfortunately it was an extremely hazy day so some of the water color is probably from Lightroom adjustments to make the image a little clearer. I guess I applied some artistic license to my photo. 😀
What a beautiful part of the world. Pleased to be following you now!
There is a lot to see and do! Hoping to be able to get out a little more soon and get back to normal.
Thanks for your support! 😀
My proof of share.
Stunning captures - the bridge is looking like a poster.
Thank you! I always enjoy taking the road less traveled. It usually pays off with something unique. 😀
