Union County, Oregon

Union County sits in the northeast corner of Oregon. You’ll find Blue Mountains and sprawling valleys. La Grande, the county seat, is a hub for outdoor-type-of-people.
Hiking trails crisscross Catherine Creek State Park. Winters bring deep snow, perfect for skiing at Anthony Lakes. Summers are hot and dry. Forests basically surround the inner populated communities.
The county’s history is tied to the Oregon Trail. Cattle ranching remains a key industry here. Oh, and don’t miss the hot springs because they’re a local secret.
