On a roll at Mt. Bachelor

Fourth-grader Jesse Guevara, 9, right, leads Madison Weeks, also 9, on a powdery downhill roll while playing with their Bear Creek Elementary School classmates during a field trip to Mt. Bachelor on Tuesday. Earlier, the fourth-graders, who are learning about the Western expansion and Lewis and Clark, had gone on a U.S. Forest Service-led snowshoe tour, which helped them learn about the ecosystems in the area and experience the cold conditions that early explorers faced firsthand. A picnic lunch then gave the students the energy to climb up and roll down this hill multiple times before the bus ride back to their school in Bend.
