Location
Golf Course Road is on the west end of Enterprise off of Hwy 82. Take this road north for about 10 miles from Enterprise. There are a couple of options that provide a loop back to town. You can take School Flat Road (45.529909, -117.333998) west which will bring you back to Lostine. Or you can take Golf Course a little farther north and take Leap Lane (45.548498, -117.332826) east and end up at Hwy 3 which will take you back to Enterprise. If you can do both, do it.

Snowy Owls are possible in good owl flight years.In summer, look for Ferruginous Hawk, Vesper Sparrow, Lark Sparrow, Grasshopper Sparrow, Short-eared Owl and Bank Swallow (nesting in bank behind Mountain Auto Repair, just as you are leaving Enterprise).
