Halfway rewards residents with big-sky views, neighborly energy, and front-row access to the wild edges of Baker County. Weekends often start on the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway, a ribbon of road that leads to the rim of North America’s deepest gorge; explore more via the official Hells Canyon National Recreation Area pages from the U.S. Forest Service and the broader Wallowa-Whitman National Forest site. Boaters and anglers gravitate to the Brownlee and Oxbow reservoirs, with up-to-date facility details from Idaho Power’s recreation pages, while jet boat tours with Hells Canyon Adventures add a dose of adrenaline. Day trips to the historic storefronts of Baker City, the artsy alpine vibe of Joseph, or college-town amenities in La Grande round out the region.
