For some adventurers, a two to four day backpacking trip can be the perfect amount of time to disconnect with the business of day to day life and reconnect with the nature around us. But, for others, a longer trip is needed, or in this case, wanted. This week on Peak Northwest podcast, breaking news and enterprise reporter Fedor Zarkhin recounts his most recent trip to the Wallowas, where he backpacked solo for 14 days. Here are some highlights from this week's show: The must-see natural attractions of the Wallowas. What goes into food planning when backpacking for longer stints. Navigating with a good old fashioned physical map. The joys of disconnecting from technology. Multiple majestic mountain goat sightings.

For some 30 years in the early 20th century, Oregonian Jean Birnie led a trailblazing group of horsewomen called the Hen Party on annual horse packing trips in northeastern Oregon’s Wallowa Mountains. Inspired by their legacy, a group of Hen Party descendents retraced the steps of their foremothers on an adventure into the Wallowas of their own, almost a century later.   OPB “Oregon Field Guide” producer Jule Gilfillan went along to document their journey. She joins us to share the family story of the Hen Party, and how, in the Oregon wilderness, its members found friendship, empowerment, solace and more.Find more “Oregon Field Guide” stories about the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest here.

Riding next to scenic terrain, such as the Wallowa Mountains, are often in very remote and rural areas. Many of these rural areas in Oregon are active rural areas so while you may be out for a Sunday morning gravel ride, there are many ranchers actively working. Listen in on Eric Makela, the Vice President of the Wallowa Mountains Bicycling Club, and his advice to not only have fun out in rural rides near the Wallowas but also how to stay safe and alert while out there. Besides listening to the podcast, we hope you consider adding a donation in your tourist budget and check out the Wallowa Mountain Bicycle Club. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This podcast is produced by Dirty Freehub, a nonprofit organization that publishes hand-curated (and great!) gravel cycling route guides.

Carrie, Molly, and Rachel leave Ice Lake and make the trek back to the trailhead.

Just what friends are for!

The day begins with big mileage and cruisey trails, but things take a turn when climbing the Matterhorn. The sisters learn how to deal with mental fatigue and assess together when it is better to go on and when it is appropriate to stop. A member of the trio also suffers a medical issue leaving the group to give first aid and work through the issue together. In between there are also some fun stories and laughter!

On a beautiful, sunny day in the Oregon Alps, Molly, Carrie and Rachel explore the area surrounding Glacier Lake and summit Eagle Cap. The sisters look back on how much they've grown since that summit and discuss fun trail details. They also talk about the woes of camping on an island, how often Uno cards come out of the pack and share more fun stories of a day on trail. Join us for another day in the backcountry!!

Today the trio heads from Aneroid Lake to Glacier Lake over beautiful Polaris Pass. Their day is almost thwarted by thunderstorms, horse grade switchbacks, and packed campsites. They discuss their first tuna creation experience, subpar electrolyte brands, one pound garden trowels and much more! Join us in the Wallowas.

Join Carrie and Molly on one of their early, formative backpacking trips. The girls discuss their early backpacking mistakes and the lessons they learned in the Oregon alps.

ODFW's Brian Ratliff hunts Rocky Mountain Elk mainly with archery equipment but also with a rifle often while exploring Eastern Oregon by horseback. He's also been the District Wildlife Biologist for Baker for more than a decade, which gives him a lot knowledge about some of Oregon's most iconic ungulates. Part two of our three-part series on Oregon's elk focuses on hunting Rocky Mountain elk on the east side of the state from sage brush steppe to the alpine regions and everything in between.

027 Dulcimer Week in the Wallowas is an annual adult music camp held over the July 4th week and is devoted to learning the mountain dulcimer. This episode is about our experience at the camp with interviews and music from the festival instructors and attendees.

There are a lot of reasons to visit Joseph, Oregon, beginning with the spectacular Wallowa Mountains. But for ceramic artists, there's one very specific reason: a residency program that some have called the Shangri-la of ceramics.But the LH Project is not the mental image you might have of an artists' residency. There are no glasses of merlot, no berets, no still lives of lilacs and persimmons. LH is pure rock ‘n' roll clay-slinging that attracts artists from around the world, including a group of veterans who return year after year.

Every summer, writers from all over the country head to the base of the towering Wallowa Mountains for Summer Fishtrap, a conference about writing and the West. This year, they celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the festival's founders, the journalist and historian Alvin Josephy, with the theme “Hidden From History: Stories We Haven’t Heard, Stories We Haven’t Told.”We couldn't resist the draw of a roadtrip to the mountains, so we invited a number of Fishtrap founders and visiting writers to join us for a live show at the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture. A round table with festival founders Kim Stafford (writer and Lewis and Clark professor) and Rich Wandschneider (former longtime Fishtrap director and now head of the Josephy library), as well as festival board president Rose Caslar, a Wallowa County native who took her first Fishtrap class at 15. They talk about Josephy's influence, the place of Western writing, the reaction to hanging a four-point buck rack in a Lewis and Clark College dormitory and the area's troubled relationship with its original inhabitants, the Nez Perce. 13:30 - Josephy Center director Cheryl Coughlan tells us about how the center helps to culture a creative life in a rural community. 17:56 - Keynote speaker Timothy Egan discusses reporting on stories hidden in plain site. Best known for his National Book Award–winning “The Worst Hard Time,” chronicling Dust Bowl stories, Egan has also written about the photographer Edward Curtis, the wildfire that gave rise to the U.S. Forest Service and western issues of all types for his regular op-eds in the "New York Times." 25:10 - We venture to Fishtrap's lodge for a youth workshop on writing hip-hop theater with poet Myrlin Hepworth. 29:10 - Roberta Connor, the director of the Tamastlikt Cultural Institute whose family includes Nez Perce, Umatilla and Cayuse ancestry, was invited to Fishtrap to talk about what happens when Native stories are told by white writers and to share some of the hidden stories that speak most deeply to her. 36:57 - We close with a discussion with two of this year's most rambunctious workshop leaders, writers Erika Wurth and Sherwin Bitsui. Wurth, who is Apache, Chickasaw and Cherokee, most recently published "Crazy Horse's Girlfriend" and is working on a novel about Native gangs. Bitsui is a Diné from the Navajo Reservation in White Cone, Arizona, and his most recent poetry collection, "Floodsong," won the American Book Award and the PEN Open Book Award.The music in this week's show comes from Tony Furtado's newest album, "The Bell." Furtado has a slew of Oregon shows coming up, including one near the Wallowas at Enterprise's OK Theater on July 30.
