Every Saturday morning (well, from May through October), downtown Joseph comes alive as locals and tourists shop at the Wallowa County Farmers Market. You’ll find tons of amazing, delicious, fresh local produce, as well as free-range meat, local arts and crafts, and much more.
There’s even live music and other fun events!
In addition to world-class whitewater rafting, Eastern Oregon is home to some of the best mountain biking in the entire world (in our humble opinion). Our local multi-use trails offer anywhere from 7-20 miles of incredible single track. There are options for beginners and expert riders alike. There’s plenty of hills, too– if you’re looking for a challenge!
Our favorite trails:
Don’t Forget : You can get a free map of local trails from the Wallowa County Chamber of Commerce !
Looking for an amazing view without having to ride your bike up a mountain? The whole family will love the Wallowa Lake Tram ! The tram gains nearly 4,000 feet in elevation, ending at the top of Mount Howard– a bit over 8,000 feet above sea level.
From there, you can enjoy lunch at Summit Grill. Then take a fun (but challenging) hike on the East Peak Trail, all the way to Aneroid Peak (9,700+ feet above sea level).
