Summary

Description

Arrowleaf Balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata) in bloom and abundance at Grasshopper Flat, Malheur County, June 8, 2017, by Greg Shine, BLM.

Just 15 miles north of the Oregon-Nevada state line and

7 miles east of U.S. Highway 95, the 6,440-foot Jackson Summit overlooks much of the south-central section of Oregon Canyon Country.

To its west loom the east side of the rugged Oregon Canyon Mountains, while the rolling hills to the east provide glimpses of pastoral Grasshopper Flat and the Antelope Creek watershed.

In spring, wildflowers abound in the area, and flow like seasonal streams from the east slope of Jackson Summit into Grasshopper Flat.

Most visitors are merely passing through, on their way to access Anderson Crossing on the West Little Owyhee Wild and Scenic River, but the area is well worth a visit - especially during wildflower season.
