Welcome to Grant County, the 2017 solar eclipse capital of Oregon … and so much more! The eclipse, the first total solar phenomenon to cast a shadow over North America since 1979, will move across the state at mid-morning on August 21. No place in Oregon will offer a greater opportunity to catch this rare sight than Grant County, thanks to our likelihood of cloudless skies and our position smack-dab in the eclipse path. Virtually all of the 4,500-square-mile county – with its nine communities and bountiful forest and range lands – has a front row seat. For at least a year, Chamber of Commerce members and the local communities have been preparing to welcome sun-gazing visitors with activities, special events, and of course, those funny-looking safety glasses. But while August’s eclipse offers a brief show – about 2 minutes in duration – there are plenty of other spectacular reasons to visit the county, in August or any other time of the year. Grant County is the jewel of the John Day River territory, a special place where the high desert meets the mountains. Rugged and remote, the county features pine forests, snow-capped mountains, lush range lands, and verdant river valleys. The result: breath-taking scenery and recreation opportunities. What’s there to do? Take a bike or a motorcycle out on our open roads, hit the trail with your snowmobile or horse, hike a mountain trail, fish the rippling waters of our streams – or explore the area’s rich history at one of our museums. Think gold rush, ancient fossils, timber and cattle barons – there’s a wealth of the Old West awaiting you here. And whenever you visit, don’t forget to enjoy our clear sky. Odds are, conditions will be perfect for the eclipse, but the sky here can’t be beat for star-gazing just about any night of the year. So come see us in 2017 – We’ll be glad to share the beauty of this special place with you.

The rhyolitic lavas of the Strawberry Volcanics produced the oldest 40Ar/39Ar ages measured in this study with ages ranging from 16.2 Ma to 14.6 Ma, and have an estimated total erupted volume of 100 km3.

  • Sumpter Valley Railroad Interpretive Site
    Welcome to the Dixie Pass, part of the Sumpter Valley Railroad ca. 1890 to 1947 Introduction • The Oregon Lumber Company in agreement with Union Pacific built the Sumpter Valley Railway in 1890 as a way to access rich tracts of timber southwest of Baker City. • The Railway replaced wagons as the primary transportation to McEwan, Sumpter, Whitney, Austin and Bates, Oregon, until the advent of trucking. • In 1987 seven portions of the Railway were listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as the Sumpter Valley Railway Historic District. • One portion, Dixie Pass, the newest addition to the Sumpter Valley Railway, was built ca. 1910 as part of an attempt to finish the Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad. This route was important to John Day Valley ranchers for transportation of their livestock to market. You are following in the footsteps of Sumpter Valley interpretive trail at the Malheur National Forest. First Stop: Sumpter Valley Railway History American Indians first created trails through these mountains hundreds of years ago. Later, in 1825, Hudson-Bay Fur company trappers, lead by Peter Skene Ogden, crossed this very pass. In 1862 more people made this difficult journey by stagecoach and freight wagon in search of gold. Gold prospectors were followed by farmers, ranchers and others. In 1890, David Eccles, a prominent businessman from Utah, helped create the Oregon Lumber Company and plans were set in motion to build a railroad to haul logs to a sawmill in Baker city. The first 22 miles of track ran through the mountains to McEwen. By 1910 the rails were over 80 miles long, reached all the way to Prairie City, and hauled logs, livestock, people, and other freight.
