If the Underworld has anything in common with Hells Canyon, a dramatically beautiful stretch of cliff-framed river in northeast Oregon, it can't be all that bad, particularly if you're a hiker, white-water enthusiasts or landscape-lover.
The East Steens Tour Route travels along the escarpment of Steens Mountain from Fields to Burns, passing by the Alvord Desert and Hot Springs. Closer to the towns of Crane and Burns is the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
