Cómo moverse

Bring a comfortable traveling vehicle and fill your tank.

The wide open spaces of Harney County allows for uncrowded highways and lots of scenery between sites of interest. Plan for day trips to travel the tour loops - include a good supply of snacks, drinks, a jacket, and a full tank of gas before leaving town to begin your day adventure.
