FALL OUTDOOR GUIDE WELCOME! BLACK LOGO N othing says “Outdoors” more than northeast Oregon in the fall. Tamaracks and aspen turn golden. Elk bugle. Trails, less laden with summer hikers, beckon. Mornings are crisp, afternoons mellow. Snow accentuates the high country. Whether you are a hunter, hiker, cyclist, gardener intent on completing fall planting, or just like to sit on a log, inhale the scents of autumn and relax, outdoors is the place to be. In this guide you’ll find information and stories about hunting, including a hunter who defied all the odds and won two hunts for bighorn sheep—near Lookout Mountain in Baker County. And along with other stories of hunting and forecasts for hunters, we have sumptuous local recipes for elk, deer, and duck. For cyclists, there’s a guide to several great fall bike rides around the region. For photographers and those who hunt with a camera, there are suggestions for how to get truly memorable shots—with your cell phone or camera. And there are other informative articles, too. Few places in North America offer the diversity of landscapes and outdoor experiences that you can find here. Hells Canyon and the Snake River breaks offer hunters and hikers a respite from on-rushing winter. The Wallowas and Elkhorns epitomize alpine splendor. Zumwalt Prairie and the USFS lands to its north harbor abundant wildlife, including elk, deer, and upland birds. Ladd Marsh is a birder’s and bird-hunter’s paradise. This is EO Media Group’s first regional guide to fall activities across Baker, Union, and Wallowa County. It is a collaboration of the staff writers, editors, and reporters of the Baker City Herald, La Grande Observer, and Wallowa County Chieftain, all of whom are now part of the EO Media Group family. We all know and love northeastern Oregon, and are thrilled to share it with you.
