| no partners | | | I was on my annual Fall drive from Phoenix up to Big Lake in the Oregon Cascades and decided to stop off in the Steens Mountains of Eastern Oregon for 2 nights to explore the western slopes. After doing a quick drive of some of the major sights on arrival day, I decided to do a day hike to Wildhorse Lake the following day. The trailhead is well marked with a new sign. The trail is easy to follow but the loose gravel and jumble of small boulders on the corners of the switchbacks can trip you up. The lake is in a peaceful setting with trout visible cruising the shallows near shore. On this day, I only encountered 4 people. I circled around the lake to the East shore and then went off-trail to take a close look at the small lake (pond) beyond the lake. That required some route finding to get through a large boulder field. After a long lunch and rest at the pond I started the climb back up the trail. |
