Cruising on the alkali dirt of the Alvord Desert, with its never-ending grid of erratic fracture lines, is quite different from the typical nature drive. The playa, as it is called, was once a 200-foot-deep lakebed, and is now so typically smooth and dry that land speed record attempts take place in the isolated southeast Oregon location (story below). The 6-mile-long by 11-mile-long desert of beige palettes stretches far enough to create mirages, with Steens Mountain to the west and the Pueblo

Explore Oregon Recreation: Alvord Desert While Steens Mountain looms to the west, the shimmering salt flats of the Alvord Desert unfold to the east. The Alvord Desert playa can be either wet or dry depending on the time of year, and is one of the largest playas in Oregon—six miles wide and 11 miles long. Tens of thousands of years ago, a lake almost 200 feet deep covered the Alvord Desert and extended southward into Nevada. The old shoreline forms terraces along the edge of the valley, and deep

While filming on the Alvord Desert playa this towering dust devil formed right in front of OPB's "Oregon Field Guide" crew. While most dust devils last only seconds, the biggest can persist for over an hour and can span nearly 300 feet wide. This one was a beast - the camera was shaking from the powerful winds as photographer Cameron Nielsen was filming.

Eric Minsker on Instagram: "The desert does it again. Alvord Desert, Oregon. Middle of nowhere, zero cell service, dead quiet. Flat dry lake bed, insane sunsets, and miles of nothing in every direction. One of those places that doesn’t even feel real until you’re standing there. #alvorndesert #oregon #highdesert #steensmountain #pnw #sunset #middleofnowhere #getoutside #offgrid #exploremore #adventure #camping #moto #motorcycle"
