Experience
The Harney
High Desert
Proud to Be The
Emptiest Place
In the Lower 48
Harney County invites you to enjoy the beauty of what’s not here: traffic, crowds, hustle and bustle. Just plenty of space — to breathe, roam, and discover the land, water, sky, and soul of the high desert. Our solitude isn’t lonely, it’s liberating.
