Unrefined and outback, Eastern Oregon may be. Still, there are not too many wide open spaces left in this world like this experience-rich region of Eastern Oregon. There’s unmatched camping in the desert, horseback riding in the Steens Mountain Wilderness, horse-pack camping into the Wallowas and rivers to float, but Eastern Oregon’s true resource is its people—from sunstone mining and raising grass-fed beef to the Pendleton Round-Up. Open spaces and open faces are waiting to greet you in Eastern Oregon.
