 | | Eastern Oregon |  | | Welcome to Eastern Oregon! This region accounts for more than half of the state, geographically speaking. With a relatively small population, Eastern Oregon is one of the west's last great wide open spaces. Visitors can stand in the ruts left by thousands of wagons headed west along the Oregon Trail. Look for fossils in John Day and be sure to stop in at the major interpretive centers throughout the region offering visitors a chance to gain a better understanding of Oregon's history through the eyes of its Native peoples. |
|  | | | Eastern Oregon is a place of awesome beauty-from Hells Canyon's wildest rapids to the glimmering peaks of the Wallowas, from the rolling wheat fields of the Columbia River Plateau to the rugged breaks of Steens Mountain. |
