Northern Oregon, USA. Famous logging country, where the granite mountains spring from the<br />
ground and mark the state line with Idaho to the east is a beautiful county and town named<br />
Wallowa. Nowadays, it’s one of the finest places you can imagine if you want to reconnect with the<br />
outdoors.<br />
All year round are opportunities to enjoy the fresh air and<br />
get out into nature. With the glorious Wallowa Whitman<br />
National Forest just a short distance to the south, you’re<br />
spoiled for hiking trails, mountain biking routes, or some<br />
great fishing on Wallowa Lake.<br />
Wallowa Lake is a picture-perfect postcard sight that<br />
almost defies description. The deep waters with the<br />
mountains behind them are simply spectacular – spend<br />
all day staring at its natural beauty. Or hop on the Wallowa<br />
Lake Tramway, a cable car that takes you up to the best<br />
views in the state, no walking required.<br />
The town of Wallowa itself is on a rather spectacular bit<br />
of road as well. The wonderfully named Hells Canyon All-<br />
American Road Scenic Byway stretches for 218 glorious<br />
miles along the eastern edge of Oregon. Taking in some<br />
of the best small towns and jaw-dropping vista after jawdropping<br />
vista, it’s one of the great drives in the USA.<br />
And if the days of hiking, biking, and driving around this<br />
beautiful corner of Oregon aren’t enough, then you only<br />
need to wait for the sun to go down for one last thrill. As<br />
one of the least light polluted areas around, you can gaze<br />
at millions upon millions of stars when the skies are clear.<br />
It’s like Heaven on Earth.<br />
