    High Desert Discovery Scenic Byway Overview

    Published on Oct 18, 2006

    Discover a different side of Oregon as you travel along roads surrounded by juniper and sagebrush. This sparsely populated region takes you through true frontier country, past the dramatic mountain ranges of the Steens Mountains and the wide-open spaces of the Alvord Desert. With towns few and far in between, you have the chance to explore these remnants of what was once the Wild West the way the cowboys of old did.
