Steens Mountain Wilderness is a 30-mile long fault block mountain in southeast Oregon. It sits about 60 miles south of Burns. Pressure under the earth's surface thrust the block upward some 20 million years ago. The tilting of the block resulted in a steep eastern face, with a gentle slope on the western side of the mountain. During the Ice Age, glaciers carved several deep gorges into the peak. They also created depressions where Lily, Fish, and Wildhorse lakes now stand. Today, Steens Mountain rises to an elevation of 9,773 feet. Rock Climbing is popular among visitors.
