Trail Overview
This connector road runs east-west and is a great way to get from the Alvord Desert to the lesser-visited Coyote Lake bed. The road itself is a soft silty material that lines the playa and is a double track, with plenty of room for passing. The views are expansive with the Steen Mountains always off in the distance. Stay the night on the Playa as the Alvord and southeastern Oregon is apart of the largest Dark Sky Sanctuary.

Difficulty
