Guano Creek is a reliable water source with crystal clear water. If you hike along the Oregon Desert Trail, the creek will be on your side for some miles. In this location you hike on a backcountry road with fascinating rock formations on both sides.

A faint backcountry road skirts along the Abert Rim Wilderness Study Area and is used by hikers along the Oregon Desert Trail. This route leads towards the edge of Abert Rim, providing you with breathtaking views down into the valley. With more than 30 miles, Abert Rim is the longest exposed fault scarp in North America and was formed during the Miocene epoch. Keep your eyes peeled for pronghorns and bighorn sheep which roam the area.

This additional loop trail challenges you with some scrambling over large boulders and is not as traveled as the main route.

The Squaw Ridge Wilderness Study Area in Oregon encompasses a rugged and remote landscape characterized by high desert terrain, basalt canyons, and sagebrush plains. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, this area is valued for its ecological diversity and opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation. As a wilderness study area, it remains protected from development. It might be hard to find a suitable spot to camp since the area is covered with sharp lava rock, sagebrush and cow paddies.

Crack in the Ground is a stunning geological feature within Four Craters Lava Bed Wilderness Study Area. The volcanic fissure is two miles long and up to 70 feet deep. You can take a hike into this gorge. Keep an eye on the weather, though, and avoid it during rain since it might get flooded in a rain storm. It is just a short detour if you take the Christmas Valley alternate of the Oregon Desert Trail.
