Steens Visit

One day, we drove to the top of Steens Mountain and another day we drove the long loop. It seemed very long – sixty miles of gravel road. By the time I finished it and returned to camp, I was pretty well done with gravel for a while. Views from the top and into the gorges – Kiger, Big Indian and Little Blitzen – are truly amazing. I hope to return someday when the skies are clear and not filled with wildfire smoke. From the top, I could barely make out the Alvord Desert. It is supposed to be one of the highlights of a visit to Steens.
