It cracks me up how many states have locations within them called the Badlands. Everyone wants a place on the map that sounds like a movie was filmed there. That being said, this is a simple to find, ease at parking, flat trailed hiking area in the Oregon high desert. When you live in Oregon, chances are you live west of the Cascade range, so you get real tired of seeing nothing but dense green trees. Amazing to visitors, but monotonous to people residing here. So heading east of the Cascade range, it is a new unique perspective to see desert land, and then realizing about 2/3rs of the state is actually desert in itself. There are multiple trails, and unlike some comments, we found it pretty well marked. Elevation change is negligible, but you are at about 3500 feet. If you come from sea level this will feel a bit different. Numerous old junipers and rock formations make for a nice change of scenery. Take water and a compass; you shouldn't find it difficult to find your way back even if you get off on the wrong trail.

Peace and tranquility at it's finest , and the stars at night are absolutely brilliant.

Great location for solitude, a little night sky viewing. There is a view of Bachelor and others. Rangers are helpful.nYou will find the occasional rift raft and homeless campers, but for the most part it has been empty.nSome garbage around the rock piles in the gravel area.nRanger told us we can camp in the gravel area or just behind it but not over in the Dry River area. Rangers appear to come by twice a day.nVerizon mifi gets 3 bars over by the gravel near road and 2 bars behind it in the juniper tree area.nDefinitely some snakes and coyotes about.nWalk the road you plan to drive as there are sharp bones (spinal) and glass about, and some spots around trees are pure sand sinks. Please pick up what you find! Keep it clean and safe.
