It is some of the wildest and most remote land left in Oregon and the object of a 40-year love affair for conservationist Andy Kerr. In 70 hikes through snow-capped mountain ranges, deep river canyons, sagebrush-covered flats, dry lake playas, moonlike lava fields, and juniper-covered hillsides, Andy Kerr will seduce you too, with the spare and mysterious beauty of the Oregon desert. And he hopes, inspire you to action.

Each of these wild areas, vital to survival of native plants and animals is currently threatened. Kerr explains how you can fall in love with the Oregon desert, and then help protect these lands forever.
