Winter in the Wallowas isn't always quiet- one of the season's most exhilarating events starts just outside Joseph!
This extreme event has mushers racing 100 miles through rugged wilderness in conditions comparable to those in Alaska- think of it as Oregon's Iditarod. You don't have to be a sled dog musher to participate, however, as the organization is always looking for volunteers and spectators are welcome. For more information: Eagle Cap Extreme
Where: Salt Creek Summit Snow Park
