Hiking
Among the wonders of Central Oregon's High Desert, the Crooked River Gorge is immense. With its 300-foot-deep, 4-mile-long expanse, it unveils captivating desert landscapes, sculpted by the Deschutes and Crooked rivers over millennia. Trek the edge of sheer cliffs, where the Crooked River flowed hundreds of feet below, resembling a miniature Grand Canyon.
