Hiking
Wildhorse Lake is beautifully situated next to the summit of Steens Mountain. A steep switchback trail will get you down and up again. The Oregon Desert Trail traverses through Wildhorse Canyon with a serious section of slow bushwhacking through tall sagebrush and roses.

Hiking
Enjoy this lovely high elevation lake at the bottom of a deep cirque with tall surrounding walls. You can paddle, swim, or just soak in the views relaxing on the shore.
