Trail Overview
This track takes you up to Moon Hill as the high point and creates a loop that is open year-round. (Some of the Steens Mountains are behind a locked gate some of the year) The track is a seldom used trail with grass growing in the tracks of the lesser visited sections. Many camping opportunities along this trail. There are some small private property sections at the beginning and end of the trail that are legal to pass through per signage posted by the BLM. We were able to see some of the wild horses, antelope, and a herd of Elk along this. route. Depending on the time of year there are some giant puffball mushrooms along this trail.

Difficulty
Easy trail for high clearance AWD or 4x4 vehicles when dry. As many trails in this area if the trail is wet it can be nearly impassible by most vehicles. The deep dried ruts from attempts while wet are a warning to wait until this trail is dry.
