Wallowa Lake is located in eastern Oregon near the picturesque town of Joseph. Our family visited this area in 2010 and fell in love with its beauty. Wallowa Lake sits at the base of the Eagle Cap Wilderness, also known as the "Swiss Alps" of Oregon, which is host to several snow-capped mountains (e.g., Matterhorn--no, not that one, Chief Joseph, Mt. Herman, etc.). We camped a whole week at Wallowa Lake State Park, went fishing, hiked 6 miles through the mountains, and saw a few bald eagles. Below are some of my favorite photos from the trip.

This was my favorite vacation that we have been on here in Oregon, maybe my favorite vacation ever.
