Visit Eastern Oregon

Join the Jacob and Ester Fu with Local Adventurer as they travel the incredibly diverse region of Eastern Oregon. From Hells Canyon to the Painted Hills. Just don’t tell everyone!

Eastern Oregon blew us away. It felt like the Iceland of America combined with the wild west.
Let me start off by saying, we DO NOT recommend trying to explore all of Eastern Oregon in one week. Eastern Oregon is truly a beautiful and rugged place, and we found so many hidden gems, but we regret spending so much time in the car getting from place to place. Don’t forget to read all the tips at the bottom. This part of Oregon is not the easiest part to navigate through, but luckily, you can learn from our mistakes!
