Trail Overview

This trail takes you to several points of interest. You'll see beautiful countryside, pillars, craters, lava flows, and the Owyhee Canyon Lands of Oregon. The roads are gravel with many rough spots requiring slow travel. This trail passes through sagebrush, over hills, and up mountain passes, so there can be snow in higher places--be prepared. This trail is very remote, so carry some sort of satellite communication, extra fuel, plenty of water, and warm clothes.

Difficulty

The only real difficulty for a 4X4 vehicle is the remoteness of the area. You could probably do it with a Sprinter van.
