Steens Mountain

We traveled to the Steens Mountain mid-June. Our first plan was to camp at Paige Springs, but the mosquitoes were rampant. We ended up camping at Fish Lake on the mountain. At Fish Lake, the mosquitoes were about a week behind Paige Springs and the temperature was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler. The wildflowers were out in full force.

The gate at Jackman Park was opened the day we arrived. We are able to drive to the top and see Wildhorse Lake, the Alvord Desert, and Keiger Gorge. 

We did very little hiking, but the boys swam and fished in Fish Lake. We also visited Fields and Diamond.
