Long drive in to reach Steens. The main road was in great shape, 2WD and accessible to most vehicles. According to the ranger, the road had opened only a few days earlier due to snow drifts on the upper mountain.
Nearing the start of the road climb.
Big Indian Creek (left) and Little Indian Creek (right). A trail goes up Big Indian and would make for a more interesting route than the traditional drive up to Steens.
Short hike to an overlook along the road.
Little Blitzen River, which also has a trail leading to the head of the canyon.
Summit of Steens Mountain (left).
The road was still in great shape higher on the mountain.
