The Upper Gorge on the Williamson River:

The river's face changes as it flows downstream through the gorge, moving from rugged to serene.
At the beginning of the middle gorge; you'll soon encounter the sheer tunnel like walls of the middle gorge, which
have been sculpted by winter's watery torrents. - bk

the upper williamson river gorge on the southwestern corner of crater lake national park, in the klamath basin.

Follow the trail from the parking area down into the gorge; then walk wherever you choose
or can manage. The first time I did this hike, I was little acclimated to such circumstances as this. I mean, even
wilderness areas have trails. Brad wanted to share the area with me, and I was quite willing to go along. We were climbing
over boulders the size of small houses, in one circumstance there was only one toehold on the other side of the rock.
Brad said, "Put your foot here." I tried, but my leg wasn't long enough and my shin crashed into the rock. The bruise
lasted more than a year. Still, I love that place, and we go back to the gorge again and again. :-)
