I was excited to see the Steens, a fault-block mountain of the basin and range geology, not like the volcanoes of the Cascade Mountains by my home.  I had driven from the Hart Mountain Antelope Reserve and when I reached the valley rim above Frenchglen the Steens looked like a huge gentle giant of a hill that just kept going skyward.  There was no clue that the backside abruptly drops to the Alvord valley.

I was headed to the BLM Page Springs campground; a campground that my boondocking brother had recommended.  It must be nice if he recommended it. It was centrally located for exploring the vast area with a nice amount of space between each campsites.  I found the campground a happy place with a comfy camp site that I settled into for a three night stay.
