Two Rivers

This scenic train journey begins at the Elgin Depot and follows the peaceful flow of the Grande Ronde River through a landscape filled with rushing water, wildflowers, and wide open natural beauty. As the train moves deeper into the countryside, it reaches Rondowa where the Grande Ronde meets the Wild and Scenic Wallowa River. The route continues a short distance along the Wallowa River before the train gently reverses direction and returns to Elgin. Throughout the journey, passengers can enjoy relaxing views and a calm travel experience surrounded by nature. The ride offers a comfortable and memorable way to explore the region, with a popular boxed lunch served during the trip. The train cars have both heating and cooling, though temperatures may vary, so dressing in layers is a good idea. The movement of the train includes gentle side to side rocking, adding to the classic rail experience. This journey is ideal for those who enjoy scenic travel, fresh air, and a slower pace while taking in beautiful river landscapes.
