Trail Overview
This remote section of two tracks through the Northern Steens takes you past several old settlement cabins and along a section of the lesser traveled optional Oregon BDR route loop. The trail is beautiful and the two track is overgrown at points. The only difficult sections are possible through the low points of the trail. The trail goes through several sections of private ranching land, but crossing the property is allowed. At the end of the trail, you travel over a pass that could be snowed over in Spring and ends at a county-maintained gravel road. Expect to see motorcycle groups completing the BDR on weekends.
