Western Hiker is a unique way to explore Hells Canyon and Eagle
Cap Wilderness in northeastern Oregon. This is one of America's wildest and
most beautiful areas with over a million acres of snowcapped peaks, alpine meadows,
rushing rivers, and endless, unspoiled views.
Western Hiker recommends that you take a close look at the Cornucopia Lodge (cornucopialodge.com) if you're considering a trip outdoors this year. The lodge sits twelve miles north of Halfway, Oregon right next door to the old mining town of Cornucopia. At any time of year, the Lodge can be your basecamp for adventure in Eagle Cap Wilderness or Hells Canyon.

| Welcome to Wild Oregon |
"Eagle Cap Wilderness is the premiere backpacking country of Oregon. It covers 580 square miles of the Wallowa Mountains in the northeast corner of Oregon. Anywhere you look in the Wallowas you will find absolutely breathtaking mountain scenery. There are fifty-two named high lakes, of which nearly all have an abundance of trout just waiting to take your bait. Many miles of river drain from the high alpine mountains through densely forested canyons. These rivers also have many trout, and several have received National Wild River status for their 'outstandingly remarkable' characteristics. The abundance and diversity of animal life in the Wallowa Mountains is sensational."
