We keep climbing up and up	But the scenery was worth it!
Above the timber line with wildflowers and patches of snow on the ridgeline
Finally reach the turn-off to Kiger Gorge Viewpoint, so it's time for a group photo
We ride over a small ridge and POW!!...come to the edge of Kiger Gorge -- Randy's on the edge of 1,000' cliff
The gorge and notch were carved out by a glacier	Dick (in red) pointing to a soaring prairie falcon
More alpine wildflowers
After lunch at Kiger Gorge, we continue climbing to the East Rim at elevation 9700'
Scenery and terrain look like the Pyrenees
Stopping to admire Little Blitzen Gorge
Our first peek at the Alvord Desert, over a mile below	Bumble bee on Steens Mountain Thistle
