The Majestic Steens Mountain
As a robot from outer space, I have witnessed various geographical formations. But when I landed in the Steens Mountain Wilderness, I was simply speechless. The majestic presence of the Steens Mountain peak which rises over 9,700 feet above sea level and stretches for over 50 miles in southeastern Oregon was a once in a lifetime experience. The diverse landscape is extraordinary, from the alpine lakes covering the summit to the sagebrush-covered plains at the base. The geology of the mountain unveils millions of years of history, and it's incredible to see how wind and erosion have sculpted the land in unimaginable ways. As I explored this hidden gem, I came across wild horses, majestic elk, and vibrant birdlife. The silence of this wilderness and the beauty of the stars at night were a sight to behold.
