Auto Tour
At Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
The 42-mile, self-guided auto tour travels through the scenic Blitzen Valley, following much of the historic Center Patrol Road (CPR), which was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
The tour begins at Refuge headquarters and ends at the historic P Ranch. Allow at least two hours to complete the full route, depending on how often and how long you stop. During the peak spring birding season, plan to spend at least half a day exploring both the upper and lower sections of the valley.
To help protect wildlife and their habitat, all areas not identified on the Refuge map and regulations are closed to the public, including dike tops and fields.
