For 25 years, the name Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area has rarely disappointed.
Outside the southern Oregon Coast community of Reedsport, about 100 elk call the preserve home, and passers-by who choose to pull off of Hwy. 38 get a sure-thing opportunity at wildlife viewing.
Sometimes a bull elk, Oregon’s largest land mammal, simply struts by. Other times, youngsters get up on their hind legs and do some sparring.
Almost every time, though, the elk are there to graze on the same meadow grasses and shrubs.

The Sonoran Desert National Monument contains magnificent examples of untrammeled Sonoran Desert landscape. This National Monument is the most biologically diverse of the North American deserts, and the monument captures a significant portion of that diversity. The most striking aspect of the plant community within the monument is the extensive saguaro cactus forest. The monument contains three distinct mountain ranges, the Maricopa, Sand Tank and Table Top Mountains, as well as the Booth and White Hills, all separated by wide valleys. The monument also contains three Congressionally designated wilderness areas and many significant archaeological and historic sites, and remnants of several important historic trails.
Visits to the Sand Tank Mountains, located south of Interstate 8, requires a Barry M Goldwater Range permit. The permit is free, but requires the recipient to watch a 13 minute safety video. Permits are valid for one year, from July 1 through June 30 of the following year. Permits can be obtained in person at BLM's Arizona State Office and Lower Sonoran Field Office.

hikerssweden: Nice!!
The West Coast Trail. You are never sure what you will find around the next corner. Walking close to cliff edges here.
Before highways and railways, before pioneers....the land we know as the United States was truly a vast wilderness. To protect these last remaining areas, in 1984 Congress created the Paria Canyon - Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Coyote Buttes' outstanding scenery, desert wildlife, colorful history, and opportunities for primitive recreation will remain free from the influence of man and are protected in this condition for future generations. Its 112,500 acres beckon adventurers who yearn for solitude, scenic splendor, and the chance to explore one of the most beautiful geologic formations in the world.
A permit is required to visit Coyote Buttes. Due to overwhelming demand, Coyote Buttes North ("The Wave") permits are available through a lottery. For additional information visit www.blm.gov/programs/recreation/permits-and-passes/lotter....
