Evening Pedal Adventure
1.25 Hour Event   -   6 Mile Pedal
Wallowa County Oregon offers some of the most breathtaking landscapes around.
Bring your camera and enjoy an evening pedal during that special evening golden hour. A quiet pedal down our abandoned rails is the perfect time to unwind after a day of adventuring.

If you enjoy photography, beautiful sights, and an opportunity to possibly see some wildlife as they make their way to bed down for the night this trip is for you!

The first 3 miles of this trip will require little pedaling as you cruise down to your midpoint in the middle of the valley, you'll have a brief break and then you'll enjoy a gentle 3 mile electric assisted pedal to return up to Joseph. Please read about our Electric Assist


$120 per 2-Seat Tandem Car        $240  per 4-Seat  Quad Car
