Byway Overview

Ahead lies the 187,757-acre 2 Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, an oasis of wetlands and lakes that suddenly appears amid stark mesas and dry grasslands.Before interstates and cell towers seemed to link every rural corner of America, there were places like this, where you could gaze out across an unbroken horizon, hear every birdsong and fall asleep under a bowl of dazzling stars.
