Did this as a day trip to fly fish for the population of Lahontan cutthroat trout in Wildhorse Lake. The area is other-worldly in terms of beauty. Wildhorse Lake is near the top of Steens Mountain, a huge fault block mountain marked by several glacially carved gorges. The trail is fairly steep all the way but easy to follow. Footing is the main concern here. I had the area all to myself for about an hour and was a little surprised by the traffic; there must have been fifteen or so other people who all hiked in for the day and left before me. All in all a highly recommended scenic hike in one of Oregon's most unique landscapes.
