At this remote location at the boundary of the Oregon Badlands Wilderness you can hike along the Tumulus Trail that leads you deeper into the Badlands with its old junipers and typical desert climate. This is also the western terminus of the 750 mile Oregon Desert Trail. A dirt road will get you to the trailhead, that is doable even for a regular car without high clearance. The Central Oregon Canal is a reliable water source, but should be treated.
