Greenhorn Mountains

The Greenhorn Mountains are a small mountain range located in eastern Oregon, situated between the cities of Burns and Baker City. This relatively isolated range rises abruptly from the surrounding high desert, with rugged, steep-sided peaks reaching elevations over 8,000 feet. The terrain is predominantly forested, with open meadows and alpine areas at higher elevations. Numerous creeks and streams flow through the mountains, creating scenic valleys and canyons. Wildlife in the Greenhorns includes elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and a variety of bird species.
