Snow squalls, wildflowers, a few cows and no people up in these high basins and ridges. The initial climb from Long Hollow starts at a cattle gate. It is adjacent to the Rincon Wilderness, but difficult to tell the difference between the wilderness and the private land. The right of way is open. There's one piece of private land in the middle of the upper basin, containing Desert Bog Springs, where the road deviates around the fence line. During our visit, there were plenty of cattle within the fence. Staying outside was easy. There were relatively few cattle on the BLM land. The grade up both high ridges were mostly rideable although given the baseline high elevation, some of the steeper sections, we ended up walking. The wind was higher in both passes, but the 360° views were the well worth some time in each. A stop for water and hamburger in Fields Station is a delightful recovery zone. In the summer, the milkshakes are not to be missed. Modern outhouses are available there. This could easily be done as a loop out of Fields, Oregon in either direction.
