This trip to the high desert of southeastern Oregon takes you to one of the most unusual mountains in the West, a single fault block rising one mile straight up out of the Alvord Desert, 9,500+ above sea level, and ranging more than thirty miles in length north/south. Quite a sight to behold. And this adventure is great for beginners. Primitive camp, or rest in one of three develped campsites. Drive right to the peak. Hike the mountain rim. Fish the lakes. We saw two golden eagles! Big horned sheep range these cliffs too. This trip is $7.95.
