Steens Mountain is nearly 10,000 feet high and over 30 miles long, an enormous fault block that rose up millions of years ago to cut a bold line between the greener western slope of the Blitzen Valley and the Alvord Desert to the east. Here you find the Kiger Little Blitzen and Big Indian Gorges, all formed by prehistoric glaciers, as well as the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge at its western base. 39269 Hwy 205 Frenchglen, Oregon 97736 541-495-2315.
