HINES
Burns, named after Scottish poet Robert Burns, was established in the
1880s and is the county seat of Harney County. As Oregon’s gateway
to the scenic Steens Mountain, the city has plenty to offer the outdoor
enthusiast. This friendly cowboy community is in proximity to endless
breathtaking scenery, hiking, fishing, camping, boating and backpacking in backcountry areas. Spectacular fossils can be found in nearby
Trout Creek.
Hines, a community of about 1,500 people just south of Burns within
Harney County, was named for Edward Hines, who bought the railroad
and lumber company from the town’s original namesake, Fred Herrick,
in 1928. The town features three parks and an 18-hole golf course and
is less than a two-hour drive from Malheur National Forest.

CHRISTMAS VALLEY
This unincorporated hay farming community in Lake County was

airport, water system, golf course, rodeo grounds, and artificial lake in
effort to attract young, would-be farmers and retirees from California.
Few moved there and the company faced many lawsuits over misrepresenting the property. Today, the area attracts all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts worldwide who ride the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes.
