Location  Steens Summit

Where:  Steens Mountain

 

 After a complete day of over-cast skys and rain, which we used to tour the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by car and take photos of Blazing Stars, we started out once again to explore Steens Mountain.

Kiger Gorge

From the Steens Mountain Loop Road we were able to peer down into the glacier carver gorges of Kiger, Little Blitzen, Big Indian, and Wildhorse, which contains Wildhorse Lake.

Stopping at the East Rim Viewpoint we were able to look out across the vast expanse of the Alvord Desert.
