Eastern Oregon at a Glance
Comprising more than half the state, Eastern Oregon features large, unfettered
expanses of land that include ranches, farms and a rich history. The Oregon Trail
led thousands of wagoneers west during the expansion of the United
States, and many of these pioneers are commemorated in the communities that
dot the landscape of Eastern Oregon. La
Grande in Union County sits at the base of the Blue Mountains, an area that
offers national forests, wild rivers and a wealth of outdoor activities. La Grande
is also home to Eastern
Oregon University, giving the town an aura of refinement among the much-revered
local cowboy heritage. The celebration of wrangler traditions continues throughout
this part of the state with Pendleton
hosting the annual Pendleton
Round-Up that brings visitors from across the state and beyond to witness
the spectacle of man versus beast. A large number of parks and gardens pay testament
to the vast outdoors available to this area of Oregon.
