When planning a summer visit to northeast Oregon, be sure to add the Sumpter Valley Railroad to your travel itinerary.

Running between McEwen and the historic mining town of Sumpter, it’s a guarantee that the whole family will enjoy this relaxing trip back in time without having to leave the comfort of the present.
