Elkhorn Scenic Byway
Sumpter Valley Historic Railroad, OR

This 10 mile (roundtrip) railroad trek takes you from Sumpter to McEwen and back. This line started in 1890 to haul logs to a new sawmill. It soon expanded to carry passengers to Baker City. The line's length eventually reached 80 miles. It started losing business in the 1920's to automobiles, and was fully abandoned in 1947. The engines and cars that are used for the ride are fully restored.
