Summary edit

Description

A long lonely, but paved, road takes one from Enterprise, Oregon to Lewiston, Idaho. On its way, it cuts across the south east corner of Washington State. This view is peering down into a canyon of the Grande Ronde River. Snake River canyon is near by.

Someone told me about a back way, partially on gravel, that one could plunge down into the Snake River Canyon. After that it would be a level ride, along the Snake, into Lewiston. I feared I might take a wrong turn, or get all the way to the mouth of the Grande Ronde and find no bridge thus having to go all the way back. Sticking to the main road, I dropped down nearly 3,000 ft. to the Grande Ronde just west of where it runs into the Snake. Then it was a 3,000 ft. climb, back out on the other side. I got my exercise that day and saw some spectacular views. It was very meditative with hardly a car in sight.

At the Grande Ronde's edge sits a small restaurant. The food is marvelous and they hand out an information brochure that starts with the statement, "We are at the bottom."
