Elkhorn Scenic loop
As we passed back through Baker City we saw these trees in the landscaping for a bank parking lot. The leaves are maple but the bright, light yellow was what caught our eyes.

Elkhorn Scenic loop drive
Today we decided to follow this scenic drive and glad that we did. It was a 106 mile drive around and through the Elkhorn Mountain range starting and ending right here in Baker City, OR. Most of the drive was on Forest roads but all were paved and all were just beautiful. The weather was the absolute best with a clear blue cloudless sky and temperatures holding in the 68-70 degree range. We kept our eyes on the lookout for some elk, especially in the high meadow areas, but none were to be found. Since we didn't see any elk we stopped in Sumpter, OR at the Elkhorn Saloon for lunch and had an elk burger, yum.

Elk or no elk, that was a beautiful set of pictures and that burger had to really hit the spot.
