The Pueblo Mountains are a rugged volcanic mountain range located between the town of Fields and Denio. Its defining feature is a 45-degree tilted fault block ridgeline averaging around 7,300 feet. The Oregon Desert Trail leads through this stunning area, mostly cross country with some serious bushwhacking and route finding. Some trees offer shade and the view is amazing.

Plan way more time than you think for this section. There are some old cairns to help you navigate, but those are hard to spot (some become visible when you are already next to them). These are relics from the former 1960s project of "The Desert Trail" that was intended to create a route from Mexico to Canada, but was never finished.
