Follow a short side trail to an information board and further along the ridge for a fantastic view of the valley and the Little Blitzen River rushing at the bottom.

Take a step closer to the edge and enjoy the breathtaking view into Big Indian Valley and Big Indian Creek way below you.

A zig zaggy trail leads to from the Blitzen River Trail to this scenic viewpoint. Enjoy the stunning panoramic vista of the Blitzen River and the gorge that is has shaped for centuries.

The Blitzen River Trail follow the meandering Blitzen River through a spectacular gorge. You can walk as far as Fish Creek on a path that is sometimes obvious and sometimes needs a little bit more of your attention to find it. There are some idyllic camp spots along the trail. It can be used as an alternate to the original Oregon Desert Trail that leads along the other side of the river, but needs you to ford it one time. If the water is too high (mostly in springtime), better take this lovely option.

This is the best viewpoint of the Little Blitzen Gorge headwall. Nearby is a former stockman's camp, as evidenced by the log fence corners. This served as a base for overseeing herds of cattle as they grazed.
