North Powder

Built around a railroad station in Oregon’s southern Grande Ronde Valley, North Powder grew into the small incorporated city it is today. The community lies close to the Powder River, with the Elkhorn Mountains rising to the west and the Wallowa Mountains farther east. Interstate 84 and the rail corridor connect it with La Grande, Baker City and the wider northeastern Oregon interior. This was Oregon Trail country: emigrant routes crossed the Grande Ronde Valley during the 19th century, a legacy interpreted across the region. North Powder marks the transition from broad agricultural valley to mountain country. Move on to other webcams in Oregon to compare landscapes and settings around the Grande Ronde Valley.
