The Metolius just down from its source. A beautiful tranquil spot, Mt Jefferson in the distance. An active volcano. Though it hasnt erupted lately (like 100s of years)
The head of the Metolius. Literally I turned around from the other pic. It just starts as a river from this spring
The Metolius River about a mile downstream from the head. This is near Camp Sherman, OregonNow a quick political plug. The area around this river is privately owned. Vote YES on Measure 49 to make sure it stays the way it is. That is if you are an Oregon registered voter

great posts and pics Spiritbear.
Never been to camp Sherman, or seen the Metolius spring forth from the earth. I hope to soon.
Is there a hotspring around there?
I dont know of a hot spring in the immediate area. The closest ones I know of to there are a little South and West on 126 toward Eugene. Belknap and there is a free one too. Cannot remember the name. You could head back to Corvallis via Eugene and stop along 126.
Since the area is volcanic, I am actually surprised there isnt a hot spring near the Metolius. Maybe there is and it just isnt publicized
I was in the actual TOWN of Metolius a couple weeks back. Pics to come soon.
Hooray for 49! That was SUCH a relief, wasn't it?
