Golden Hour Evening Pedal Adventure
About this trip...
With breathtaking sights, fresh air, and a good possibility of wildlife sightings this trip is an amazing adventure providing great photography opportunities.
Enjoy this pedal during the famed golden hour, a wonderful time of the day where the early evening lighting tends to yield amazing pictures. You'll have lots of opportunity to capture the sights as you journey along the dimly lit valley floor at the edge of the silhouetted Wallowa Mountains.
We'll begin our trip departing from Joseph. Our first encounter will be with the Wallowa River as we pedal across a rickety 116 year old trestle where you'll see the flowing waters a dizzying 10 feet below!... Next we'll venture into the dense pine forest which will lead us
lead us into the wide open valley with a vast colorful sky above.You'll enjoy a brief stop at our midpoint lounging and enjoying the sights as we turn the cars around. After that you'll make your way back up to Joseph with the Wallowa mountains drenched in the last bit of sunlight by your side.Photos from our 2024 trips:
