Welcome to Steens Mountain Cooperative Management & Protection Area!

private and public land offering diverse scenic and recreation experiences. The CMPA encompasses deep glacier-carved gorges, stunning scenery, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, and a way of life for all who live there. The 52-mile Steens Mountain Backcountry Byway provides access to four campgrounds, numerous trails, the Riddle Brothers Ranch National Historic District, wild horse roaming areas, and opportunities for fishing and hunting. The views from Kiger Gorge, East Rim, Big Indian Gorge, Wildhorse, and Little Blitzen Gorge overlooks are not to miss!

Know before you go

There are long distances between services and amenities, such as fuel, drinking water, restrooms and cell phone reception.

Most roads in the area are ROUGH AND PRIMATIVE—high clearance or 4x4 vehicles along with high quality tires are recommended.

The REMOTE NATURE and vast landscape of the area may leave even the most experienced traveler confused or lost. Traveling with a current map of the area is essential.

From Burns, take State Highway 78 southeast for approximately 2 miles. Turn right onto State Highway 205 and travel south for 60 miles to Frenchglen. Just past Frenchglen, turn left onto the Steens Mountain Loop Road.
