@amazingamericatv: Did you know the steepest gondola in North America is tucked away in northeast Oregon? 🚠 The Wallowa Lake Tramway climbs an impressive 3,700 vertical feet to the summit of Mt. Howard, where you'll find panoramic views of the "Alps of Oregon", hiking trails, and the highest restaurant in the Northwest. It's one of Oregon's most underrated mountain experiences! 📍About 5 hours from Boise or 6 hours from Portland, many people miss this area but it is worth the trip and is the perfect stop for an unforgettable eastern Oregon road trip. 💵 Tickets are about $50 for adults (discounts available). The tram typically operates from mid-May through late September. Be sure to check the operating calendar before your visit. The cable goes over multiple ridges or steps along the ride so the entire 4 mile stretch is not visible, making it hard to envision just how steep and long this ride really is! After your ride, don't miss kayaking or paddleboarding on Wallowa Lake, exploring the charming town of Joseph, or exploring the nearby Eagle Cap Wilderness. Trust us—this hidden gem deserves a spot on your Pacific Northwest bucket list! 🏔️
