Kiger Gorge--A Glacial Valley
This panoramic view is of the breath-taking Kiger Gorge in the Steens (a mountain in Oregon). The immensity and depth of the canyon is simply amazing. My advice for those who are bothered by heights: Don't stand on the rim!
The Steens is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Per ChatGPT, "The Kiger Gorge, located in the Steens Mountain region of southeastern Oregon, is approximately 1,000 feet (305 meters) deep. This impressive U-shaped glacial valley is a notable feature of the Steens Mountain, showcasing the dramatic effects of glacial erosion in the area."
