With the opening of the gondola in 1970, Wallowa County added one of it's most popular attractions. The 3700' vertical foot ascent to the summit of Mt. Howard is a memorable experience. The exciting trip to the top of the mountain allows one to enjoy the view as the gondola rises above the Wallowa Lake Village and the blue waters of Wallowa Lake.
During
this spectacular ride, guests get a view of the Eagle Cap Wilderness
area and its rugged peaks. Upon arriving at the upper terminal, guests
can explore the summit area (see summit page) enjoying the extensive
variety of alpine plants and vegetation along any of the many trails.
Interpretive signs and information are provided to make the most of
your walk. If you prefer, just relax and take in the breathtaking views
as you enjoy a meal, snack, or your favorite beverage at the Summit
Grill and Alpine Patio. Mt. Howard is a popular site for a variety of
activities, including picnics, weddings, reunions, hang-gliding, model
glider flying, and walking the alpine trails. Many guests choose to
hike to the mountain lakes and high basins in the Eagle Cap Wilderness
area.
The quiet peacefulness at the summit area and dynamic scenery is why Wallowa Lake Tramway was designated "Best View in Oregon" and is truly a place to remember. |
