Description

Added by Roark Nelson

Amazing scenery. Quick and easy.

Taking a drive off the main highway that connects Umatilla, Oregon to the popular wine town of Walla Walla can lead to some very scenic views of the Stateline Wind Farm. On Gerkling Flat Road outside of Athena, Oregon you can drive right next to these colossal towers and see how a growing renewable energy is generated. One of the best times to go is when the Walla Walla Valley fills with fog, as the fog just barely reaches the bottom of these machines, creating the illusion of an ever reaching ocean.

Hike the Elkhorn Crest Lollipop from Anthony Lakes

After unsuccessfully attempting to run 100 miles at IMTUF in Idaho, I had some time to kill before I had to be home and energy in my legs to burn. The Eastern part of Oregon has been on my list of places to run since I moved to the state a few years ago. One route popped into my mind and I had to do it. The Elkhorn Crest is a point to point trail in the Blue Mountains just outside of Baker Ci...
