Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway
Devil's Garden, OR

This meadow is bordered by several springs and covered with lush meadow grass, moss, blue lupines, and Indian paintbrush.

Pictographs on the face of a large dacite boulder evidence an ancient Indian trail and tell the story of a Warm Springs Indian brave that convinced a Klamath Indian maiden to return north with him. Later he and the warriors accompanying him were ambushed at this pass by a group of Klamath warriors who were led by a jealous rival. Unfortunately, the Indian art was vandalized in 1975, but some pictographs still remain.
