Hells Canyon Chamber of Commerce invites you to visit and enjoy our many opportunities
for outdoor recreation as well as a step back to a less hurried time. Our area,
Baker County's "Panhandle," stretches from Hells

Area of the Wallowa mountains, to the havens of Eagle and Pine Valleys. |
The area is filled with lots
of adventure opportunities.
Vacation where you can wander through peaceful valleys, climb, backpack or ride in our stunning mountains, observe scenes that seem to be right out of a western movie, and enjoy our down-home friendliness. It may interest you to know that the Lee Marvin movie, Paint Your Wagon was filmed here.

The Baker County Panhandle is
truly different.
Our area's
unique geology, offers a host of adventuresome opportunities for
amateur geology and scenic photography enthusiasts. Eastern Oregon was once an
area of tropical seas punctuated by volcanic islands. The area, sinking
for eons underneath the mountains of western Idaho, produced the
striking topography of Baker County's Panhandle region. Cornucopia's
lode veins amid its basalt formations are unique to northeastern Oregon
as well.
