At the historic site of Dewey Bridge, now a ruin after a recent fire, we parked and followed a rough side track up the canyon. About a mile's walk brought us right to the hashpoint. A little extra hiking brought us to some fabulous views of the Colorado River canyon. The day was warm and bright, and lots of sunshine was very welcome to the traveling Oregonians.
