The Alvord Desert is a desert located in Harney County,in southeastern Oregon in the western United States. It is roughly southeast of Steens Mountain. The Alvord Desert is a 12 by 7 mile playa,a dry lake bed,and averages 7 inches of rain a year. Two mountain ranges separate it from the Pacific Ocean,the Coast Range,and the Cascade Mountains.
