Whitewater Rafting Meets Railroad in Northeast Oregon

Travelers seeking the most from their vacation budget this summer can make a weekend get-away to Northeast Oregon's Wallowa River and experience the same river twice with a 'River to Rails' rafting and train ride combination.

The rafting portion of 'River to Rails' takes you down a family-friendly ten-mile stretch of the road less Wallowa River, with Class II whitewater thrilling enough for the kids, but small enough so Mom and Dad don't need to be anxious.

After lunch on the river, your river guide will help you out of your raft or kayak and onto the Wallowa Union Rail Road for the trip back up the beautiful Wallowa River Canyon and another look at the rapids you've just run. 

River to Rails weekend getaway package trips are available on 6 Saturdays, June 27th to August 1st.  The package includes overnight accommodations at the Minam Motel, site of raft launch and train stop.
