The view from the Proxy Falls trail, on the leg of Route 242 coming down to the west from McKenzie Pass. We're in a glacially carved canyon here, on the Collier lava flow, which is about 1500 years old. The trees are astonishingly large for such a young flow, and it's a real puzzle to figure out how they've become so well established and robust on such a young surface.
And that is one of the less amazing things about this spot.
