A beautiful waterfall that is about 15 feet from your car. Just pull into the campground at ‘Whitehorse Falls’ and look for the waterfall viewpoint pull out on the left side of the road. Walk to a little patio area and enjoy the view.

Desert Mountain Sheep

Jim — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 22:25:27 +0000

I think that these animals are Desert Mountain Sheep. There are photographs of some at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center and these look like the animals in the photographs. If these are not Desert Mountain Sheep, please let me know and I will update the information on this page.

We saw them crossing the Hwy-140 East of Lakeview in Central Oregon. They traveled in a small herd of about eight animals.

You can see a view of the area here at Google Maps.
