About this trip...
Enjoy this peaceful pedal through a timbered canyon alongside the tumbling Wallowa River. With amazing landscapes, plenty of fresh air, and a good possibility of wildlife sightings this trip is absolutely breathtaking. Keep your eyes peeled for birds, marmot, deer, elk, and maybe even a bear, it's wild out there.Your adventure begins near the famed Minam Store at the confluence of the Wallowa and Minam Rivers and your midpoint is just across a
towering trestle at the confluence of the Wallowa and Grande Ronde Rivers, a spot that used to be home to an old timber camp called Rondowa.
Once you arrive at your midpoint you'll enjoy a 30 minute rest overlooking the river from nearby the trestle or you may take a short trail down to the rivers edge to find a log or fallen tree to sit on. It's a perfect opportunity to relax and eat a snack / lunch that you pack in.
