This whole part of Southeast Oregon is like finding a secret very few know about. I was first introduced to SE Oregon through the Giant Loop Motorcycle Tour. It is an amazingly wonderful, but seldom visited part of Oregon. The Steens Mountain Loop is spectacular, but it can be blocked by snow late into the season as was my experience in June 2022. That being said, the trip up to snow line was breathtaking and beautiful! Make sure to visit the little community of French Glen and go into the store. It is truly a step back into time. Imagine my surprise having just returned from Moab, Utah and finding the most beautiful tourquoise bracelet in little tiny, French Glen! And it fit! Was not expecting that!
