Winter Activities
Things in Wallowa County really slow down after fall but that doesn't mean the fun ends. Several miles to the east of Wallowa Lake is the Salt Creek Summit Snow-Park . There you'll find excellent snowmobiling and best of all, the area is uncrowded. Salt Creek Summit also has great non-motorized and marked cross-country loops for skiers, boarders and snowshoer's.
Outside Joseph is the ski area called Fergie. It's small with only a t-bar and rope-tow, but the relaxed and personable atmosphere makes it lots of fun, especially for kids.
For the intrepid the Eagle Cap offers snowshoeing and back-country skiing.
Winter is also a great time to come if youre looking for peace and quiet- it might be just the cure for a frantic, noisy lifestyle.
Winter Activities
