点评:All of what the other reviews said was true about Wallowa Lake, except it's *not* in La Grande, it's more than an hour away from there. It's right next to the town of Joseph, so this review will be for Wallowa Lake and Joseph OR, and just adding information that isn't in the other reviews. La Grande is much bigger than Joseph and has its own really great things.
So, note to people traveling to Wallowah Lake and Joseph - it is a gorgeous area and quaint, friendly little town, with really good little restaurants, taverns, museums and some art galleries, as well as lake activities and tram up the mountain. BUT if you go in September, know that it is wildfire season, and so you do run the risk of reservations being canceled or having to leave in a hurry in the event of evacuation orders. That didn't happen to us, but, the environment was so smoky (wild fires on three sides of us) that we could barely see the lake and the surrounding mountains; the tram closed on one day due to no visibility, etc. And of course you're breathing the smoke while there. Also, we went last week (19th Sept) and many of the shops and restaurants were closing or have more limited hours. Some stores posted signs on the door announcing that they'd be open by appointment.
We did get to see more the last day we were there because the rain came and cleared up some smoke and it is a spectacular place with friendly people and all the great things mentioned; I just wish we had scheduled our visit at a different time when we could have enjoyed more!
翻译:其他评论所说的关于瓦洛瓦湖的所有内容都是真实的,除了*不*在拉格兰德,它距离那里有一个多小时的路程。它就在约瑟夫镇旁边,所以这篇评论将针对 Wallowa Lake 和 Joseph OR,并且只是添加其他评论中没有的信息。 La Grande 比 Joseph 大得多,并且拥有自己真正伟大的东西。
因此,请注意前往 Wallowah 湖和约瑟夫的人们 - 这是一个美丽的地区和古朴、友好的小镇,有非常好的小餐馆、小酒馆、博物馆和一些艺术画廊,以及湖上活动和上山的电车。但是如果你在 9 月去,要知道现在是野火季节,所以你确实会冒着预订被取消或在疏散命令的情况下不得不匆忙离开的风险。这并没有发生在我们身上,但是,环境烟雾弥漫(我们三边都是野火),我们几乎看不到湖泊和周围的群山;由于看不见等原因,有轨电车有一天关闭了。当然,您在那里呼吸着烟雾。此外,我们上周(9 月 19 日)去了,许多商店和餐馆都关门了,或者营业时间更有限。一些商店在门上张贴告示,宣布他们将通过预约开放。
我们在那里的最后一天确实看到了更多,因为雨来了,清除了一些烟雾,这是一个壮观的地方,有友好的人和所有提到的伟大事物;我只是希望我们能在不同的时间安排我们的访问,这样我们就可以享受更多!
