EXPLORE EASTERN OREGON<br />
>><br />
Still largely raw, wide open and undiscovered,<br />
the Eastern Oregon gem is<br />
worth mining. There are not too many<br />
beautiful, yet undeveloped spaces left<br />
to discover in this world like this experience-rich<br />
region. Unmatched camping<br />
in the desert or tree-lined mountains is<br />
complete with breath-taking star-gazing.<br />
Back country powder and canyon<br />
fishing expose wonders both high and<br />
low. Ride horses in the Steens Mountain<br />
Wilderness; horse-pack or llama trek<br />
into the Wallowas—often called the<br />
North American Swiss Alps, and float<br />
the wild and remote rivers. Besides its<br />
obvious splendor, Eastern Oregon is<br />
home to a mix of people as varied as<br />
the population is small. Sunstone miners,<br />
bronze sculptors, ranchers raising<br />
grass-fed beef, artists, writers, musicians<br />
and Pendleton Round-Up rodeo-ers coincide<br />
in this slice of Oregon's Wild West.<br />
