Steen's Mountain, Oregon, USA

Looking slightly east of north along the range front. The range crest here is about 9000 feet (~2750 m), and there is over 3500 feet (~1070 m) of relief to the valley floor.

Thanks, everyone! Steen's Mountain has its fans (I'm one), but it's not nearly so well known as places elsewhere in Oregon--mostly rainier places!

Steens Mountain is an enormous tilted fault block, with a gentle western slope and steep eastern escarpment (seen here). It's a spectacular area and not too well known. Definitely recommended! Other parts of Oregon get lots more attention.

Thanks, everyone! As I said above, it's not the best known part of Oregon.

Thanks! It's worth a little dust--it's a spectacular place. And, on the ridgecrest there's usually enough wind to disperse the dust!

It is indeed. One of the better reasons to get on a dirt road!
