The High Desert Discovery Byway ends in the ranching community of Fields. At the turn of the century, borax was collected around Borax Lake, providing a significant source of revenue. Fields is an excellent staging area for outdoor adventures in the nearby Trout Creek and Pueblo Mountains. The privately owned Alvord Hot Springs is currently open for public use. Fields offers some essential traveler's services such as food, gas and lodging. From here, you can loop north on the East Steens Tour Route (number 13), which ends back in Burns.
