About this trip...
Enjoy this peaceful pedal through a wide open valley at the base of the towering Wallowa Mountains.
With lots of fresh air, and a good possibility of wildlife sightings this trip is an amazing scenic adventure.
This trip provides a good taste of what Railriding is all about. It's a nice way to relax for a bit and
it's the perfect length to allow you to fit a Railriding experience into your busy schedule.
Your trip begins with an awesome Wallowa River crossing and then round the bend and head into the valley
with an amazing mountain backdrop. Next you'll venture into an area flanked by dense pine forest.
Beyond the forest the rails lead you into wide open pasture land with farm animals and vast open views.
Your return trip provides some of the most breathtaking unobstructed views of the majestic Wallowa Mountains around.
Finally, be sure to check out our goodies in our depot after you arrive back to Joseph.
💡 Important Tips
• Every Railrider in Joseph features a pedal electric assist system for use on the uphill return leg of the trip. It is used for everyone and is a standard part of the ride.
You'll cruise back at a gentle 7 mph. Our electric assist system allows guests of varying fitness levels to enjoy this trip and requires minimal physical exertion.
• This trip runs half the length of our Valley Sights trip utilizing the same rails, it's the same length as our nighttime adventures.
If you've ridden our Valley Sites trip before or when you do so in the future you will see some of the same scenery.
It's awesome scenery so this isn't a negative point, just good to know. We have guests who come back to ride with us year after year, it sure is nice to see it twice, or thrice, or quice? 🙂*Please Note:To help condense our trips as well as to ensure the most comfortable and
enjoyable experience possible all of our departure times may not be available every day.
