The river winds through the Wallowa Mountains and you get great scenery. There's camping available near Wildhorse River. You might have to settle for a hotel
a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This section of Wildhorse River in Adamas County is 14 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. Getting
some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff.
