Lakeview, Oregon (2/7)

List item
Approved

If a person traveled east through Bly on the previous road, they would eventually come to Lakeview.  This is looking north from Highway 395 and this is one of the largest towns in southeast Oregon. It has a whopping population of around 2,300 people.

This is the county seat of the largest county in Oregon; Lake County. It is in the Oregon High Desert, and at an elevation of 4,766 feet, it is the highest ‘city’ in the state.  One of the ‘claims to fame’ that this town has is that it has an active geyser. Oregon has a number of hot springs, but only this one geyser.

Depending on which direction a person travels from here, they can either move north through eastern Oregon, they can go east into Idaho, or they can go southeast into Nevada. Of course, they can also go back the way they came.
