Briefly about the general area:
A tour to Deadhorse Flat revives the soul, and don't leave Salt Trail without first paying a visit to Horseshoe Spring. I don't want to stop, cause I'm havin' a perfect time here at Salt Trail. A splendid spot to camp here
at Salt Trail is Wallowa Valley Stay and wash, and Whiskey Flat is a tremendous spot.
Mud Spring is an inspiring spot to check out while you're here, and Grizzly Creek is one of the streams close by that might be worth stopping at. This site, the Wallowa Mountains, has so much
outdoors entertaining stuff. Camping at Goebel's is always a glorious experience, and let's not forget Dobbin Creek which is a stream that you may stumble upon while here. A spree to Big Canyon is always fun, and Salt Trail is not far at all from La Grande.
So much fun stuff to do in the Wallowa Mountains, not sufficient time.
