Century Farms and Small Town Charm Along The Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County Oregon

Spent a beautiful early summer day exploring small towns and century farms along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County. Baker County is home to more than two dozen Oregon Century Farms and Ranches and the Elkhorn Scenic Byway and back roads along the way, are a great way to explore this working landscape of the American West.

Small towns along the way like Haines and Baker City offer visitors a glimpse at small town Americana at its best.

This scenic byway circles through the Elkhorn mountains of Northeast Oregon beginning and ending in Baker City and passing through small towns like Sumpter, Granite, and Haines. The drive is incredibly scenic with wide open panoramic views across the Baker valley, high alpine forests, and following pristine rivers and creeks along the way. In the winter Anthony Lakes is home to Oregon's highest base elevation ski resort. In the summer the pristine alpine lake is a fishing and camping destination.

Those ears perfectly explain why California's version are named "mule" deer.

 

Roaming freely thru a hilly, grassland and oak tree-covered area of northern California that is also occupied by ranch-style homes, wildlife seems to continue to move about more or less freely. The roads here are narrow and windy, so traffic is slow and cars don't seem much of a threat to wildlife. One of those rare places that wildlife and humans seemingly co-exist in 'mutual harmony'. I'm sure the fact that "it takes money to live here" means none of the residents feel the need to hunt... at least where they live. And any "interlopers" with hunting in mind will be obvious.

Cuttalossa Rd , nice gravel road . This is why I don't ride on those skinny tires , if I see something interesting , away I go . I was riding my 10 speed touring bike on hiking paths before those sissies in California got around to " inventing " mountain bikes . Like every kid in the world wasn't already riding off road .

A couple of the figures were animated and several girls shrieked, "Bukeyashiki!" (haunted house)

The Pendung Semurup waterfalls, approximately 15-20 meters in height, can be found on the eastern hills near the town of Semurup, and are reached after an easy, roughly one hour hike through relatively flat farmland and agroforest. Be prepared to get your feet wet wading through a few mountain streams on your way there! See more detailed descriptions here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.599289883456558.1073741...
