Review:
Located in scenic Wallowa Whitman National Forest in Joseph, Oregon, Wallowa Lake Tramway offers visitors a tram ride that covers almost 4,000 feet to the top of Mt. Howard. When first constructed in 1970, the Swiss-made tram was North America’s steepest vertical lift. The grounds surrounding the Lake offer well-groomed trails for those who don’t want to take the tram, or are taking the tram only one way. Usually the walk takes about 20 minutes and offers hikers breathtaking views of the valley and lake. Upon reaching the summit via the tram or hiking, visitors are treated to views of the states of Washington and Idaho.
