Hart Lake

There are an interesting series of lakes along the western face of the Hart Mountain escarpment near Plush, Oregon.  We stopped briefly at Hart Lake to look for birds and other interesting things.

The road to Plush.  In the other direction is the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge.

We found some pelicans resting on a spit of land that projects into the lake.

Warner Canyon Ski Resort

For many years I have noticed the Warner Canyon Ski Resort on the daily Oregon snow report.  I knew it was somewhere in southeast Oregon but never spent the time to find it on a map.  Imagine my surprise when we stumbled upon this one chair lift mountain just outside Lakeview!

They must not get too much snow here based upon how high the chair lift system can go.
