Description
It is some of the wildest and most remote land left in Oregon and the object of a 40-year love affair for conservationist Andy Kerr. In 70 hikes through snow- capped mountain ranges, deep river canyons, sagebrush- covered flats, dry lake playas, moonlike lava fields, and juniper-covered hillsides, he will seduce you, too, with the spare and mysterious beauty of the desert. Kerr explains how you can help protect these lands forever.
