Oregon. The Frazier Farmstead Museum is a great place to stop. And if you plan to be around during the
third weekend in August, you won’t want to miss the local Muddy Frog Water Festival.

to Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. Hells Canyon is North America's deepest gorge. Take a
scenic drive to Heavens Gate Lookout with spectacular views of the Seven Devils, Hells Canyon and
four states - Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Montana. Learn more about the area at the
Lewis & Clark Valley website. On the Snake River in Hells Canyon, boat tours, whitewater
rafting and jet boating make for great day trip thrills. Find out more information
