With the stunning Wallowa Mountains as a backdrop and pristine Wallowa Lake just moments away, the little town of Joseph is the favorite destination for visitors.
Joseph is trendy yet retains its Old West heritage. Cowboys can still be seen riding their horses into town, and it seems that every other vehicle is a ranch truck full of “Cow Dogs”.
The town of Joseph hosts many events every year including the Oregon Mountain Cruise Car Show, Bronze - Blues and Brews, Eagle Cap Sled Dog Races, and Bronze Bike Motorcycle Rendezvous to name a few. The largest event in the County is Chief Joseph Days Rodeo the last full weekend of July.
Property values in Joseph are higher than other areas in the county, but well worth the additional expense when you see what it buys you.
The towering snowcapped Wallowa Mountains have a visual impact that you don’t easily forget, and the town has a vibrancy you want to be a part of.
