Wallowa Mountains und See

Die Wallowa Mountains ist eine Berg- und Wildnisregion im äußersten Nordosten des US-Bundesstaates Oregon.

Die höchsten Gipfel der Wallowa Mountains sind der Sacajawea Peak und das Matterhorn mit jeweils knapp 3000m. Inmitten der Mountains liegt der Wallowa Lake. Südlich des Sees befindet sich die Eagle Cap Wilderness, das größte Wildnisgebiet Oregons mit bis in den Sommer hinein schneebedeckten Berggipfeln, Canyons und Gletscherseen. Hier kann man gelegentlich noch den Mountain Lion (Puma) und den Black Bear (Schwarzbär) beobachten.
