Alvord Desert
The
Alvord Desert
is a
desert
in the southeastern part of the
American
state of
Oregon
. It lies loosely southeast of
Steens Mountain
, and has almost no life. In the summer, the surface is flat enough to drive across, or land small planes. The Alvord is a 12 by 7 mile
playa
, a dry lake bed, and averages 7 inches of
rain
a year. Three
mountain ranges
separate it from the
Pacific Ocean
—the
Coastal Range
, the
Cascade Mountains
, and
Steens Mountain
, thus it is in a
rain shadow
.
Alvord Hotsprings
is on the west edge of the playa,
