Its been about 3 months since my achilles surgery so I thought I would try a light hike in the mountains around Bend. I chose to head up to the Tam MacAuthor Rim trail which is about 20 minutes out of Sisters Oregon. Its still early season for this altitude. There was snow right down to the parking lot at 6500 ft. The snow was good and solid up to the top of the rim. at 7700 ft. Weather around was very unsettled, but made for pretty skies. The achilles held well with no pain!
