Summer Activities in Eastern Oregon

Eastern Oregon is a vast region offering the adventurous traveler some of Oregon’s most beautiful landscapes and unique experiences. Wide-open skies, sagebrush plains and craggy mountain ranges lay claim to the landscape. What you make of this region’s vast outdoor playground is entirely up to you. For a dose of history there are wagon ruts from the Oregon Trail, vibrant prehistoric fossil beds and eerie ghost towns. And those are just starting points.

You can “unplug” from civilization and enjoy the wild rivers, world-class windsurfing, hiking, biking and so much more. Stretch your legs on scenic trails through mountains, deserts and river valleys. Or explore the region’s unique communities, quaint restaurants and shopping areas. Enjoy live music, golfing, local festivals, car shows and farmers’ markets. Stay in a charming bed-and-breakfast inn or camp in the wild.

Celebrate the Fourth of July in Condon, which is known for its annual Independence Day celebration that features a parade, a four-wheeler rodeo and a golf tournament coinciding with an artisan market and concert series. And while you’re there, take in the breathtaking views of the magnificent Cascade Mountain Range.
