Steens Mountain is in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Oregon, and is a large fault-block mountain.[2][3] Located in Harney County, it stretches some 50 miles (80 km) north to south, and rises from the west side the Alvord Desert at elevation of about 4,200 feet (1,300 m) to a summit elevation of 9,738 feet (2,968 m). Steens Mountain is not part of a mountain range but is properly a single mountain, the largest of Oregon's fault-block mountains.[4][5]
The Steens Mountain Wilderness encompasses 170,166 acres (68,864 ha) of Steens Mountain.[6] 98,859 acres (40,007 ha) of the Wilderness are protected from grazing and free of cattle.[7]
