This weathered but essential outpost sits at 4,200 feet where the paved road ends and the real adventure begins. The resort offers basic supplies, fuel, rustic cabins, and RV spots with hookups — a welcome sight after bouncing through the Alvord Desert or before tackling the Steens Mountain Loop Road. The cafe serves hearty meals, and the small store stocks ice, beer, and emergency repair supplies.
Open seasonally from April through October, weather permitting. The unpaved road to get here is maintained but can be rough after storms. Cell service is nonexistent, making this a true escape from the digital world.
