Geo 730: Feb. 26, Day 422: Guano Valley and Doherty Grade

I mentioned this area before in the Geo 365 series, here and here, but here's a different view, to the south, showing Guano Valley and the scarp to its east. I've only come down this way a couple times- normally, I've continued east to Denio Junction, then up north through the Alvord Desert, heading over to the west side of the Steens near Fields, OR, or continuing up the east side (which is a spectacular drive) to Route 78. On this trip, we had already booked rooms in Lakeview, so we came back this same way. The views are better going uphill, though.
