Hells Canyon Preservation Council Upcoming Events

• Come out for a hike up Joseph Canyon with HCPC's Ecosystem Protection Coordinator, David Mildrexler, on Sunday, September 5th. Joseph Canyon Roadless Area (Wallowa-Whitman National Forest): This approximately 40,000 acre roadless area lies adjacent to State Highway 3 on the northern boundary of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, 20 miles north of Enterprise. The area is well known, largely because of its proximity to State Highway 3 and popular roadside viewpoint that overlooks the 2,000-foot depths of Joseph Canyon. The Joseph Canyon Roadless Area is a key part of a unique and critical wildlife connective corridor providing high quality habitat between the remote Hells Canyon National Recreation Area and the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness.  This hike is of moderate difficulty due to steep trail conditions. Meet at the Gypsy Java on Main Street in Enterprise at 9:30 am. For more information contact David at david@hellscanyon.org.
