Location Wet Blanket Springs Hike |
Where: Steens Mountain |
In the morning we hiked out of Big Indian to my car at South Steens Campground and then shuttled back to the top to Larry's vehicle. Finding the top too cold and winding to explore Little Wildhourse Lake, we opted to drop down to Wet Banket Springs.
