Kiger Mustang Viewing Area

The “Kigers” are a group of horses that are descendants of the Conquistadors in 16th Century that somehow ended up calling this slice of Eastern Oregon their home! There is some incredible history and storytelling about the Kiger Mustangs that you should familiarize yourself with before going on your own venture like the Spanish Explorers did before the United States of America even existed! 

The Kiger Mustang Viewing Area is an incredible attraction to see near The Narrows RV Park.
