The Minam and Wallowa Rivers meet here and flow into the Grande Ronde River a few miles down stream. Segments of all three rivers have earned Wild and Scenic designation. The rivers offer excellent steelhead fishing, rafting and year-round wildlife viewing. In winter, watch for bald eagles and other raptors. From here, the Byway climbs through a series of valleys toward the majestic Wallowa Mountains. Notice how crops vary along the route. Use caution, you’ll be sharing the road with log trucks, horse trailers and cattle trucks.
