Steens Mountain Wilderness

Steens Mountain Wilderness is Oregon high desert at its most dramatic. Nearly 171,000 acres of glacially carved gorges, aspen groves, and the largest fault-block mountain in North America—rising over a mile from the Alvord Desert floor. No crowds, no cell service, just raw geology and wild country. This is where sagebrush steppe meets alpine tundra, where bighorn sheep outnumber people. Wear it for the wilderness that rewards those who make the drive.
