This is one of the principal scenic attractions on the famous Highway. The property was presented to the people of Oregon by the owner, George Shepperd, as a memorial to his wife. Although a poor man, Mr. Shepperd refused attractive cash offers from persons who wished to commercialize the beauty of the place.
Typical Central Oregon forest scene. The forests here are remarkably free from underbrush. There are many acres of these pine forests containing billions of feet of excellent lumber.
