If
you're looking for a
vacation in the outdoors,
it's hard to beat Grant
County. There's
more than 150,000 acres
of wilderness areas
waiting to be explored,
as well as scenic areas
and natural wonders.
Mile after mile of trails
lead alongside streams
full of fish or up to
the mountain tops offering
views that rival any
to be found.

Thousands
of acres of public lands
in the Malheur, Wallowa-Whitman,
Ochoco and Umatilla national
forests offer backpacking,
fishing, horseback riding,
hunting, birding or
scenic driving opportunities.
Campgrounds abound
with a wide variety of facilities.
While visiting Grant
County, visit the John Day
Fossil Beds National Monument
and museums in Canyon City,
John Day and Prairie City.
Capture the area's history,
from the days when Paiute
Indians inhabited the region
to when gold was discovered
near Canyon City in 1862
to when Chinese laborers
extracted ore from the mines.
Whatever your agenda may
be, Grant County is a great
place to unwind and spend
time with family and get
back in touch with nature.
