If you make a trip, make it long enough to also hit at least Richardson Ranch for thundereggs. Spring time after the road dry out and before it gets too hot. Probably covered in snow now. Prineville is about 28 degrees right now.

And glass buttes is really pretty close also! Probably could every place in a month!!

That's a beauty!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

May still can be on the frosty side. Mid-to-late June is more reliably warm (not hot) and less likely to encounter muddy roads. Toward the end of June there are also the rock Pow Wows at Prineville and Madras, too (always a few RTH shirts prowling the booths) along with Pow Wow sponsored digs to areas normally off-limits. Seldom gets truly hot (and then only in the afternoons) until late July. Cool desert nights and mornings.

You do not want to be there if the roads are muddy.

Most of the jasper I've seen from there is solid green.
