52-mile Steens Mountain Backcountry Byway provides access to four campgrounds, numerous trails, the Riddle
Brothers Ranch National Historic District, wild horse roaming areas, and opportunities for fishing and hunting. The
views from Kiger Gorge, East Rim, Big Indian Gorge, Wildhorse, and Little Blitzen Gorge overlooks are not to miss!
