    Hells Canyon Overlook - Apple Maps screen shot. Blue dot is where the overlook actually is. Roughly 30 more minutes.

    Let me just start by saying it's a drive, but it's worth it. Just stunning views. It was about an…read morehour and a half from Joseph. Apple Maps* doesn't actually take you to the right spot (see my maps screen shot). I think Google maps is more accurate. Just keep following the road signs and you'll find it though! Amazing views and definitely worth the drive. There's public bathrooms (don't expect too much) and plenty of parking. There's only two, but we found an open picnic table and hung around with some wine for about an hour. No garbage cans so be prepared to take back what you bring with you. I would recommend taking snacks to picnic and make the most of it since the drive is long and windy.

    Hells Canyon is a dramatic feature housing the Snake River along the Oregon/Idaho border. It's very…read morewell known for fishing and whitewater recreation. There are a couple of ways to experience Hells Canyon - you can drive down the canyon itself, take a boat tour past the dam (where the road ends), or you can head up into the Wallowas and score some spectacular views from up top. This is that up-top spot. To get to the overlook be ready to go deep up the National Forest Service roads. Mostly gravel. Take NF 39 off of State Route 86, and then turn up NF 490. This will take you close to the wilderness area and into gorgeous mountains studded with stands of evergreens, alpine meadows, and, at the right time of year, tons of wildflowers. The Wallowas are considered one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon... but that's a story for another review. This overlook is fairly primitive but has everything you need to take in the 270-degree panoramas from this vantage. Picnic tables, toilets, a parking area, and a small trail out to where you get the best views out over Hells Canyon. While the views from up here are expansive, they don't really do the canyon justice. It's hard to see deep down into the canyon from here. But that said, the views are still great. We visited in late June on a hot, early-summer year, so the wildflowers were in full effect at this location. Tons of delicate alpine flowers. So pretty! The interpretive signs give you some good info on the geography of the area as well as info on the local wolf population. So cool to be in the area where these endangered animals still roam. Coming from Portland, I hear about the gray wolves from time to time on NPR. It's great to be out where they actually might pass by every once in a while. It's a strong punctuation on the remoteness of the location. After soaking in views and catching a picnic here, you can continue on NF 490 to complete a loop down the NW side of the Wallowas into Wallowa lake and Joseph, a path we followed, which offers a ton of great gravel-road driving. Insane alpine views, sweet untouched air, and deep green solitude. I highly recommend taking this byway. A much more interesting way to get from nowhere to nowhere. The road less traveled.

    Gondola tram lift and views on top is a top top "tops" attraction - hard to top - on our stay!…read more Eye popping, jaw dropping, incredible stellar views of Wallowa lake and mountains on the lift that starts at 3,700 feet and travels steep up the mountain, through pine trees, about 15 minutes and about a mile, to 8,000 feet elevation at the top Mt Howard. Off the Gondola, walk 3 miles to all camera and binocular ready view lookouts of mountains in all directions and lake below. Lush green vegetation and scents of alpine high. See a parsley - only one of its kind in the world. Watch out for chipmunks - really too friendly - one hopped on my shoe - the little bugger looked up with craving eyes for a handout. If you're thinking about it - it does cost 50 bucks - and worth every dollar. The pictures in your photo album will be mind blowing memories for a Wallowa lifetime.

    Yes it's expensive ($50 per adult) but I'm so glad we went. The steep ride up was spectacular as…read morethe views expanded as we passed over each tower (there are 25!). I'm not afraid of height but found this part kind of exciting. There was still a fair amount of snow, and some mud at the top which limited our ability to hike all around but we did make it to the Royal Purple viewpoint and the overlook east of it. The views were amazing! I didn't realize until I went to make this post that I didn't take many pictures once up there - I was just so captivated by the beauty of the experience.

    Want a horse to carry you into the Eagle Caps? This place is it. Partial day trips, Day trips,…read morehunting trips and nature trips. Guides are knowledgeable and horses are well taken care of (this review coming from a horse person). Take your kids on a 1/2 day or full day ride into the eagle caps, it's an experience they won't forget! The Pack Station is south of Wallowa Lake on the main drag. You wont' miss it, only show in town, well run and worth it.

    Horrible. I had called several times in advance to book our trail ride for my husbands birthday…read more Upon arrival, the guides were arguing amongst each other, and didn't even greet us. We were finally settled into our horses, when one guide announced that he wasnt sure if my daughters horse would even survive the trip, as she was so old. We arrived at "Aneroid Lake" with our guide, only to find out that he was 13 years old. The lake wasn't what I expected, as he was insistent that it was the correct lake, although he had not been there before! My husband and sons wanted to fish, but this lake was boggy and shallow, they caught a minnow or two, then it was time to leave. Upon return, I looked at pictures of Aneroid Lake, and it was a huge beautiful lake with lots of places to fish! The worst part was the owners and our guide continued to argue and lie to us! Two days later they refunded half of our money, but only with rude nasty behavior. Don't support this business! I am a rider myself and can't even justify giving them one star.
