July 9, 2007 : Intermountain Expedition: Day 6

Day 6 was, for the most part, a travel day. A few side excursions were made along the way, including a trip to Domingo Pass in southern Oregon. The first photograph shows a view of the Alvord Desert taken from Domingo Pass. The Alvord Desert is tucked below the east side of Steens Mountain. After arriving at our destination of Frenchglen (population: 11), we decided to scout the Steens Mountain, where we spent an entire day collecting (I'll write about this in the next entry). In the meantime, the second photograph is a teaser – it's a view of Kiger Gorge near the summit of Steens Mountain.
