Sunday July 8


The road along Hell’s Canyon was very narrow and winding, we could only go about 25 tops. The 40 mile drive to Joseph took about an hour and a ½. Arrived at the Wallowa Lake SP before noon. They had been full all weekend, we could see why. It is a beautiful campground at the south end of a 5 mile glacier formed lake, at the base of the Wallowa Mountains. We rode the bikes 1 ½ miles to the mountain trail head, then walked 1 ¼ miles up to the BC Creek Falls. The trail was pretty rugged, going over several rockslides with steep drops next to the 2-3 ft wide serpentine path. And that was supposed to be the easy trail. It was a relief to get back down to the road.
