gateway to some of the most beautiful scenery in a state filled with scenery.  Here the streams are almost level with the land, the land rolls across broad fields to the mountains, and the mountains reach the sky.  While the area is a knockout for the first time traveler, the town of Wallowa is a pretty sleepy little place.  The local antiques store offers a great selection of old farm tools and equipment along with house wares, glass and pottery.  It is, however, easier to find something you want to buy than to find the shopkeeper to sell it to you!</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A
