A wonderful drive through the Elkhorn Mountains just outside of Baker City. It follows Highway 7 to Sumpter and around to Haines past Anthony Lakes Ski Area and the North Fork John Day River Wilderness. This route is also often tough in Winter.
Informative and interesting. You can see the old ruts from the wagon trains on the hills near the museum. The Center is a National Historic Site and there is an entrance fee although National Park passes may be used here.
formerly Oregon Trail Regional Museum
Housed in the 1920 Baker Municipal Natatorium.
Some of the most powdery ski conditions in Oregon and is just 35 miles from Baker City. Also offers Nordic skiing in winter and mountain biking in summer.
Great fishing opportunities both in Baker City and nearby.
