Harney County is termed "high-desert" because of its elevation (Burns is at 4,200 feet and thus the type of vegetation and landforms that are here in this area. The landscape and climate varies greatly in this area. There is forested, pine tree covered areas in the northern area of the County with the Ochoco and Malheur National Forests, large sagebrush covered rolling hills and meadows in the bottomlands, lakes, streams, the Alvord Desert in the southeastern corner of the County, a large wetland area known as the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and then of course, the Steens Mountain and other mountain ranges that all add to the tremendous and extraordinary variety that can be found in this area.
