The plan was to arrive at Page Springs campground in the early afternoon on Sunday, "hopefully" after the
the weekend crowd had left. Driving toward the exit on the last loop it looked as though the plan was not working out. Then we came across one of only two available sites (27), and it was almost perfect.
It backed up to a creek that wrapped around one side of the site and there was a little patch of forest on the other side.
Just outside the campground is the start of the Steens Mountain Loop. A 56 mile long loop drive on one of the best gravel roads I've ever driven.
The day was very hazy, making photography a challenge. We tried to make the best of it.
The route started on what appeared to be a flat plain. I kept looking around, where's the mountain?
Along the way we stopped to check out a couple of campgrounds where the Aspens were in their fall colors.

On the way down.
We'll definitely be coming back to Steens Mountain, hopfully on a brighter day.
