The Steens Mountain Ranges are located in Eastern Oregon, along the Alvord Desert.  This gives the mountains a supernatural, yet majestic feel.  This area would be wonderfully suited to a car commercial, or sci-fi production.

Images were taken early November.  A few weeks later there was a greater snow accumulation for an even more striking backdrop.

Summer Lake Hot Springs, located in Summer Lake, near Paisley in Eastern Oregon is a hot springs that is open year round.  The owners are amenable to filming and there is lodging on site (cabins, RV hookups and camping).  There are multiple barns on the property, and a horse corral (with horses).  Expansive location with mountains on one side, and alkaline lake bed on the other.
