Leslie Gulch
Leslie Gulch is a strikingly aesthetic vastness of volcanic tuff towers
in southeastern Oregon. Leslie Gulch is known for its wind blown
rock formations, wildflowers, camping, and access to Lake Owyhee. This
is a picturesque place where wind, water, and time have created
spectacular panoramas of unusually sculpted conical towers, honeycombed
pinnacles, and intricate multiple layered spires.
The drive to Leslie Gulch can be made in a standard two wheel drive
vehicle. However, it is fairly long and over rough road. The scenic
rolling hills and the rock formations are breath taking and make the
drive worth while.
For local vegetation see the local
vegetation database.
Leslie Gulch is accessible either through Succor Creek from Oregon
Highway 201 south of Adrian or from US Highway 95 north of Jordan Valley
near the Oregon-Idaho border.
