    Tips

    March 30, 2023

    The Flatiron Rock Trailhead is the most popular spot to access the Oregon Badlands Wilderness. A basic map shows you the trails leading into the desert like landscape with ancient juniper trees. It gets very hot during summer and there are not water sources, so take plenty of water with you. The long-distance Oregon Desert Trail passes by this trailhead.

      The Oregon Desert Trail crosses Highway 20 at the Flat Iron Rock Trailhead. On the south side of the highway, the fence has two sections where the barbed wire is low so that you can cross over. The mapped Oregon Desert Trail is basically a bearing across this short section of desert before you get to the parking lot on the Horse Ridge side. If you don't feel comfortable traveling cross country, you can follow the road that begins by the big tree directly in front of you when you cross. It will eventually put you on the Horse Ridge Frontage Road, about 3/4 mile from the parking lot where the ODT trail continues.
