Wallowa Lake Flight 7-11-14

Trip to the Wallowa Wilderness in NE Oregon. Somewhere I've never seen or flown before.  They have a tram at the south end of lake for tourists, but will also take your para or hangglider up for free.

What a beautiful place to fly or hike or boat.  Joseph Oregon, named after Chief Joseph of the Nez Pearce Tribe, is the closest town to the Lake. 

Will be going back again to spend a few weeks exploring this fabulous area someday for sure. 3 days was not enough.


A little run starts the fun !!
