| 説明 | Wildhorse Creek Wild and Scenic River as it spills from Wildhorse Lake, July 10, 2018, by Greg Shine, BLM.Take yourself on a challenging hike down to Wildhorse Lake and Wildhorse Creek Wild and Scenic River, below the Steens Mountain rim. Don't forget that you need to hike back out, though! The lake is accessible from a trail starting at the Wildhorse Lake Overlook, which is just off the Steens Mountain Loop Road near the summit.Wildhorse Lake (and nearby Little Wildhorse Lake) provide vernal high elevation pools, talus and cliffs, willows, and adjacent upland vegetation which together provide a diversity of wildlife habitats. Wildhorse Creek Wild and Scenic River provides habitat for California bighorn sheep and a variety of wildlife from headwaters to canyon mouths. Species such as pika can be found at upper elevations. They also contain interesting and unique assemblages of vegetative communities. Know Before You Go:• Limited water sources – carry enough water and food to last your entire trip, and do not drink from untested water sources. • Ticks, mosquitoes, and rattlesnakes in certain areas during spring and summer. • Weather conditions – the mountain’s high elevation can cause rapid temperature changes. Blustery, 100-degree days are common and snow can fall year-round. Be prepared for sudden lightning storms, snow, rain, and high winds. • Long distances between services – including gas stations, phones, and cell phone reception. Let someone at home know where you plan to go and when you plan to return. Phone service should not be relied on for emergency communication. Always start your trip with a full tank of fuel and call ahead for current information about fuel availability in the Steens Mountain area. Fuel may be available in the towns of Fields, Frenchglen, Crane, or the Narrows. • Rough terrain – deep canyons and rocky slopes are a natural party of the rugged mountain territory. Elevation can change from less than 4,000 feet to over 9,000 feet in just a few miles. We recommend high clearance or 4x4 vehicles for primitive roads, including the steep and rocky portion of the Steens Mountain Loop Road near South Steens Campground. The rest of the Steens Mountain Loop Road can accommodate passenger cars at lower speeds. High quality tires are a must for all vehicles, even when traveling on maintained routes. • Livestock and wildlife on roadways – much of southeast Oregon is open range. Be alert, drive with caution, and plan to share roadways with cattle, deer, elk, antelope, wild horses, and rabbits! • Staying Found – the remote nature and vast landscape of the Steens Mountain area may leave even the most experienced traveler directionally confused or just plain lost. Traveling with a current map of the area is essential! Don’t hesitate to talk to locals - area landowners and Federal employees are generally visible in the Steens Mountain area. We welcome your visit and have information to help you.
