MUSEUM AT WARM SPRINGS

WARM SPRINGS, OR

Mt. Jefferson at sunrise with Metolius River, Oregon The Metolius River (pronounced muh TOLL ee us) is a tributary of the Deschutes River (through Lake Billy Chinook) in Central Oregon, near the city of Sisters.  The unincorporated community of Camp Sherman lies astride the southern end of the river. We were staying overnight in Camp Sherman at a great cabin. The name of the river comes from the Warm Springs or Sahaptin word mitula, meaning white salmon and referring to a light colored Chinook salmon.  The Metolius River flows 28.6 miles (46.0 km) from Metolius Springs through the Deschutes National Forest, emptying into Lake Billy Chinook and ultimately the Deschutes River.  We had a great view of Mt. Jefferson covered in snow.
