Wildlife & Nature
Cline Falls State Scenic Viewpoint along the Deschutes River west of Redmond provides access to Oregon’s high desert landscape — a dramatic contrast to the lush coastal forests. The Deschutes River corridor supports riparian habitat in an otherwise arid environment — ponderosa pine, juniper, and sagebrush dominate the uplands. The river’s cold, clean water supports wild populations of redband rainbow trout (the desert subspecies of rainbow trout adapted to warm, alkaline conditions). Osprey nest on platforms along the river. Golden eagles — larger and more powerful than bald eagles — hunt jackrabbits and ground squirrels across the sagebrush steppe. Oregon’s high desert supports the largest remaining population of greater sage-grouse — an iconic bird whose elaborate courtship displays are among North America’s most spectacular wildlife events.
