About Cornucopia Lodge |

Cornucopia Lodge: An amazing vacation. The lodge is located twelve miles north of the scenic northeastern Oregon town of Halfway (pop. 400) nestled in Pine Valley.You can walk a short distance from the lodge right into Eagle Cap Wilderness, Oregon's largest designated wilderness area, and you're a short drive from the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. The elevation of the lodge is 4,700 ft. above sea level, which means you'll have to make a little adjustment to altitude.Eagle Cap Wilderness: When most people think of Oregon mountains, they think of Mt. Hood and the other high Cascade volcanos on the western end of the state, but the Rockies also cross Oregon in the northeastern corner where, combined with the Snake River, they form the deepest gorge in the United States and one of the largest mountain wilderness areas. Much of that mountain wilderness lies within the 1200 square mile Wallowa Mountain range as part of the 360,000 acre Eagle Cap Wilderness, an area with scenic wild rivers like the Minam and Imnaha, 53 high mountain lakes, 540 miles of trails, granite crags, and steep-walled valleys formed by ancient glaciers. Hells Canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America. It runs along the border of Idaho and Oregon and was cut by the Snake River. The Oregon rim of the canyon is more than a mile above the river and the Idaho rim measures 8000 feet from the top of He Devil mountain to the river bank. That is over 2000 feet deeper than the Grand Canyon! If you'd like to see a general Google map of where we are, click here. |
