We had the tour and it was very informative. The guide took time to answer questions and show how things were done in addition to talking about the different parts of the “lost wax” method. He showed actual pieces in all the different stages - pieces were as small as leaves and as large as a 24 inch piece that would be welded to others for a whole sculpture. Good for kids elementary age and older. This is the place that cast the bronze wreaths and other things for the WW II Memorial in DC. We got to see finished 7ft tall elk, and a finished speckled trout that will sell for $50,000. This is a great tour in the midst of a place with majestic scenery.

Beautiful area! Lots to do around the lake and in little nearby town of Joseph. My favorite thing is the gondola ride.

As always, friendly and fun people at the Wallowa Lake Marina. We usually rent a boat slip during our stay and they are always super helpful. Also, they have the best tee-shirts, sweatshirts, Silipints and stickers. Thanks guys and we’ll see you next year!

6. Old Chief Joseph Gravesite

This gravesite is an absolutely must for anyone visiting Joseph and Wallowa Lake. Take the time to read about the sad chapter in our history regarding the removal of the Joseph Band of the Nez Perce Indians. Native Americans hang respectful items on tree limbs next the grave. Breathe deeply, clear your mind, and focus on what this site means to Native American and US history.
