Description of Site:
A steep, perfect north-facing flat-topped butte. Desert
thermals prevalent
in summer months. Afternoon strong winds can come on quickly.
Evening
glass-off can be spectacular. Site is visible from Hwy
11 between Madras and
Terrebonne on east side of highway.
Site Protocol:
Don't walk through farmer's fields to get to the site.
Stay on National
Grassland Access. Farmer has been OK so far, but has cattle
on this land, so
beware. This makes about a 20 minute hike to the base
of the hill, followed
by a hike up. Watch for soaring eagles off the northwest
side, stay clear of
them.
Other Info:
Nearest facilities in Terrebonne. Must be able to hike
to site and up to
launch (no vehicle access).
