Don&#8217;t miss these spots!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eastern Oregon blew us away. It felt like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/oregon-iceland-of-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>the Iceland of America<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0combined with the wild west. After our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/ultimate-oregon-coast-road-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>epic road trip down the Oregon Coast<\/strong><\/a>, we were itching to explore another area of Oregon. Since we weren\u2019t familiar with Eastern Oregon, we had a similar plan on tackling the ultimate Eastern Oregon road trip in one week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car came to a slow halt as we sat in disbelief. We had already spent the first day carefully driving our poorly equipped sedan on primitive, rocky roads, but now we faced the hardest obstacle so far. A giant pool of water covered the road from end to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backtracking would cost us many extra hours of driving, and going forward potentially meant we\u2019d have to be rescued. There was no one else in sight! After getting a closer look, we found an edge of the pool that was shallower, and we slowly maneuvered the car forward. Little known to us, we would be coming up on some of our favorite photo spots from the trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" src=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/eastern-oregon-road-trip.jpg\" alt=\"All the Best Stops on the Perfect Eastern Oregon Road Trip\" class=\"wp-image-59500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/eastern-oregon-road-trip.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/eastern-oregon-road-trip-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/eastern-oregon-road-trip-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/eastern-oregon-road-trip-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/eastern-oregon-road-trip-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/eastern-oregon-road-trip-610x915.jpg 610w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/eastern-oregon-road-trip-390x585.jpg 390w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/eastern-oregon-road-trip-260x390.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"padding: 15px;font-size:12px;background-color:#f2f4f7;text-align:center;\"><em>This post is brought to you in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/go.localadventurer.com\/travel-oregon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Travel Oregon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/visiteasternoregon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eastern Oregon<\/a>.

It has a max depth of 7,993 ft (2,436 m) vs the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/category\/north-america\/usa\/arizona\/grand-canyon-national-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grand Canyon at 6093 ft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spent 3 days here and barely scratched the surface. The Wallowas are beautiful, but we underestimated how wild it is! There wasn\u2019t much information online, and because we didn\u2019t bring any guidebooks, we were unprepared to navigate unmarked trails in the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area. Lesson learned! Bring a map and guidebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommended Length of Stay:&nbsp;<\/strong>7-9&nbsp;Days<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"1092\" data-id=\"35347\" src=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/wallowa-lake-h.jpg\" alt=\"Wallowa Lake + All the Best Places to Visit in Eastern Oregon \/\/ localadventurer.com\" class=\"wp-image-35347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/wallowa-lake-h-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/wallowa-lake-h-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/wallowa-lake-h-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/wallowa-lake-h-610x915.jpg 610w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/wallowa-lake-h-390x585.jpg 390w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/wallowa-lake-h-260x390.jpg 260w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/wallowa-lake-h.jpg 728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" data-id=\"92154\" src=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mustard-fields-near-me.jpg\" alt=\"mustard fields near me\" class=\"wp-image-92154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mustard-fields-near-me.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mustard-fields-near-me-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mustard-fields-near-me-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mustard-fields-near-me-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mustard-fields-near-me-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mustard-fields-near-me-610x915.jpg 610w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mustard-fields-near-me-390x585.jpg 390w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mustard-fields-near-me-260x390.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"1092\" data-id=\"35345\" src=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hells-canyon-dam-h.jpg\" alt=\"Hells Canyon + Best Eastern Oregon Destinations \/\/ localadventurer.com\" class=\"wp-image-35345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hells-canyon-dam-h-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hells-canyon-dam-h-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hells-canyon-dam-h-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hells-canyon-dam-h-610x915.jpg 610w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hells-canyon-dam-h-390x585.jpg 390w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hells-canyon-dam-h-260x390.jpg 260w, https:\/\/localadventurer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/hells-canyon-dam-h.jpg 728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-none\">Things to Eat, See, and Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blm.gov\/learn\/interpretive-centers\/national-historic-oregon-trail-interpretive-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hells Canyon Dam + Hells Canyon Creek Visitor Center (on the border of Oregon and Idaho) \u2013 a great look from the river level.

We made it in our Nissan Altima, but there were some really hairy situations and we had to drive uber slow. A 4 wheel drive will make the trip more comfortable, quicker, and less stressful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill up your tank any chance you get. Gas stations can be far and few between, and if you\u2019re driving during late hours, most of them will be closed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re using Google Maps, pull up directions when you have a connection and don\u2019t close the app. That way, you can still have it pinpoint where you are even when you lose connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t trust your GPS. Google Maps took us down a few wrong paths. It was still helpful to have&nbsp;but use some common sense and verify with another map. If you think the road doesn\u2019t look right, ask around (if you can find someone.. the area was really empty) or turn back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the Wallowas, bring a map, compass, and most hikers we met\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/485ahm9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">had this book<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Between the Wallowas and Portland, the Wallowa river wayside doesn\u2019t have much of a view but is a great spot to have lunch on their picnic tables or get a quick bathroom break in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-none\" id=\"pack\"><u>What to Pack<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/go.localadventurer.com\/rand-mcnally-road-atlas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Road Map<\/strong><\/a>: You won\u2019t always have cell coverage.
