Description: We have now left the McKenzie watershed and are going into the Willamette end of the Cascade Forest. We will not find such high peaks there, but will find beautiful lakes, fine stands of timber, and a most pleasing country for recreation purposes. Diamond Peak is the guardian mountain of the Willamette Pass and lies a few miles north of the highway.

Description: The new Southern Pacific line from Eugene to Klamath Falls cuts through the Cascade National Forest and opens a new era of accessibility to the timber and recreational resources of the Willamette end of the Forest.

Description: Odell is the first lake south of Waldo. Odell, Crescent and Summit Lakes lie just outside the Cascade Forest but are so close that they should be considered as part of this Forest.

Description: This is another view of Odell. All of these lakes can develop husky waves when the wind blows.

Description: The Skyline Trail runs from Mt. Hood along the summit of the Cascades clear to Crater Lake and is one of the most scenic trails to be found anywhere.

Description: The new Southern Pacific line passes directly by Odell and the traveler can now view in comfort a country which formerly was inaccessible in winter except to the hardiest trapper.

Description: The Old Military Road passes just north of this lake, and deserves a few words itself. It follows up the middle fork of the Willamette for over 60 miles through a very attractive region. This route was first used in 1863 when a pioneer train of 1500 people came into the Willamette Valley from Malheur. The next year the Oregon Central Military Road Company was organized to built a road from Eugene to Owyhee. The upper road at this time (1929) is only a fair mountain road but it will be improved and should become one of the main trans-state roads.

Description: Another of the beautiful lakes along the Cascade Summit. All of these lakes afford fine fishing as they seem to be a natural home for trout. Diamond Lake had no fish in it 15 years ago, but the Game Commission stocked the Lake with Rainbow trout and now it is an angler's paradise.
