Peak Northwest

Light-up kayaks, railroad hikes and more to do in Joseph


Listen Later

Just when you think you’ve seen and done everything in Northeast Oregon, you discover something new.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, Jamie recounts his latest trip to Joseph, where he found even more to see and do in the remote corner of the state, from light-up kayaks to a railroad hike and a tour of one fascinating general store.

Between the mountains, small towns, glacial lakes and wild rivers, there really is no shortage of things to do in this part of Oregon. It’s going to take a few more trips – or a dozen – before we consider Northeast Oregon to be thoroughly explored.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • Why the Kokanee Inn is a great place to stay in Joseph.
  • Taking a nighttime light-up kayak tour of Wallowa Lake.
  • What is M. Crow and why is it become such a big deal in Northeast Oregon?
  • A railroad hike along the Wallowa River.
  • What’s left to do in Joseph?
