South Fork Crooked River

My first backpack of the year- in the beautiful Oregon Outback! This is a BLM "Wilderness Study Area", almost completely surrounded by private ranch land. Unfortunately the cows do graze in the area, but we only saw one small group on our trip. But they also have wild horses! We saw a trio and a very shy pair at the head of Pickett Canyon.

Seems like a beautiful area to backpack/hike. I once saw horses roaming free at Deschutes River, wondered if they're wild.

Did you see any ticks on the hike?

found some good info about that area on the web, looks neat but it's 4+ hours of drive one way...
