| The Steens Mountain Historical Tour |
The Steens Mountain
Historical Tour was a fun
filled event. We met at the
Frenchglen Hotel to start
the tour and followed the
bumpy and dusty Steens
Loop road going from north
to south. The weather was
very cooperative and the
high elevation kept
temperatures comfortable.
Carrie Gordon gave
excellent overviews on the
geology of the scenic area
and Steve Lent provided
some historical
background.
The magnificent views of
this scenic wonder of
Oregon were well worth the
trip. We came down the
steep and rocky south road
but everyone got through
without any problems.
