The river is wild and scenic below the dam, and affords excellent opportunities to view Hells Canyon from waters edge up! Services at Pine, Oxbow, and at rivers edge include lodging, dining, groceries, gas, and shuttle service. Recreational opportunities include rafting, jet boat rides, camping, fishing, and hiking in the nation’s deepest river gorge. The route of the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway is a loop that encircles the Wallowa Mountains, intersecting with Interstate 84 at La Grande and Baker City. Small towns, scattered along the drive, offer visitor services. The entire route is on a paved highway. Plan ahead—you’ll find stretches of more than eighty miles without gas and with few services. A segment of the Byway between Joseph and Halfway closes with snow in winter, but allows access to winter recreation areas, offering a whole other kind of Northeast Oregon Adventure.
