Steens Mountain

Fish Lake area in winter.

 

Steens Mountain has some of the best snow and most extensive high elevation terrain for cross country skiing in the Northwest. Here we're skiing in March at 7,600 feet a little above Fish Lake. Note the extensive aspen forests nearby, their white bark and twisted shapes beautiful to ski through at this season, and even more fantastic to revisit in their gold glory in October!
