The Berley lakes are hidden gems in the Central Oregon Cascades.  Two sparkling off trail lakes were the destination of 8 CONC hikers on a sunny autumn day.  All were enchanted by the vibrant lakeside fall foliage colors, playful dragonflies and diving ducks.   Three Fingered Jack  provided a backdrop hard to surpass.  A hike well worth a return.
