"We felt really well taken care of, in every detail. Great welcome, great mountains, great folks and fantastic things to see and do: spot wildlife on the mountain slopes while sitting by the campfire, reach amazingly beautiful valleys, swim in ice-cold lakes (our daughter remembers that vividly, she had so much fun), and eat great food. We hope to be back to experience the same mountains under the snow sometime." ~ Anne from France | ||

The Prospector Adventure
At times mom (or dad) just wants to relax at the Lodge while the rest of the family would like a night under the stars in the high Wallowa Mountains of Eagle Cap Wilderness. For your two days and a night in the wilderness, we'll provide the horses and mules, guide, cook, food, camp equipment, and cots. We'll even provide the sleeping bag so you won't miss the experience of a lifetime sleeping under stars big enough to touch. And bring a camera. The views on the ride in and out of Eagle Cap Wilderness are worth framing. Pine Lakes Camp 3 day / 2 night adventure Seven miles from Cornucopia Lodge, nestled in a bowl, high in the Wallowa Mountains of Eagle Cap Wilderness, sit Pine Lakes, two alpine jewels separated by only a few yards. We’ll pack you, your food, and your personal gear to our camp that’s already set up and waiting for you. All the necessary camp equipment, tents, stoves, lanterns, and other essential camping equipment is provided. Two nights in camp.
Sourdough Camp 4 day / 3 night adventure Enjoy your first night in a comfortable Cornucopia cabin, then a morning ride to the Imnaha River where we will camp for two nights. The Imnaha River, a 64-mile tributary of the Snake River that flows east near its headwaters high in the Wallowa Mountains and then north through Wallowa County, is designated entirely Wild and Scenic. Leaving the Imnaha, ride to Eagle Cap Wilderness Crater Lake for your last camp night. Bring your horse and enjoy the majestic Wallowa Mountains up close and personal on a two day trail ride from Cornucopia Lodge, located 12 miles north of Halfway, Oregon in the wild and wonderful northeast corner of Oregon. Leave the hustle and bustle behind you and imagine relaxing at for a night at Cornucopia Lodge, and then riding with your daughter into the beautiful Eagle Cap Wilderness. Image sitting around the campfire with something cold while your cook prepares dinner. Imagine eating your lunch by a cool mountain stream where you rest and relax. And image returning to camp where dinner will be waiting with songs and s'mores around the campfire. Imagine . . . After a restful nights sleep at Cornucopia Lodge, you and your son ride into Eagle Cap Wilderness, Oregon's largest, to our Pine Lakes camp for two nights of camping out under the stars and fishing in a cold, clear mountain lake. $625.00 includes everything for both Father and Son, just bring your fishing poles. You can also hike the trail above the lake for view out over the Wallowa Mountains, or just relax in camp. It just doesn't get any better than this. A great way to introduce your son to wilderness camping. Cornucopia Adventures with your own horses You are more than welcome to bring your own horses for your stay at Cornucopia Lodge or in one of the cabins. Call ahead for more details, but there are few better places for wilderness riding. You can stay the night in the lodge or a cabin, and then ride out the next day along trails into Eagle Cap Wilderness, including the Pine Lakes trail that climbs to timberline and incredible views of the Wallowa Mountains from Nip Pass or Tuck Pass on the ridge above the lakes. Other trails take you deep into those same mountains. This is the southern side of the Wallowa Mountains and Eagle Cap Wilderness, the less crowded side where you really can get away from it all. Cornucopia Basecamp for backpacking adventure Cornucopia Lodge is a good spot for trailhead parking for backpacking trips in the southern Wallowa Mountains. The trails that lead into Eagle Cap Wilderness are all challenging mountain adventures and offer ample opportunity for high mountain experience without the crowds found on the north side of the range at trailheads near Joseph. You can hike up and over Nip and Tuck passes into the heart of the wilderness after a soul refreshing climb up a classic mountain valley to Pine Lakes from the Lodge. If you camp at Pine Lakes, you can cross Nip Pass the next mornning to complete the loop back to the Lodge where you can stay the night before driving home. | ||
