“The EOU Outdoor Adventure Program (OAP) has a variety of benefits for students from free rentals to learning about avalanche safety. These opportunities are a way to find purpose or expand on horizons yet to be discovered in the outdoors. I turn to the OAP to start my outdoor excursions.”

Calling all bobsledders
We have our own sledding hill and it’s a steep one. As soon as it snows, grab whatever you have on-hand (we’ve seen cookie sheets) and head to the 8th Street hill on campus. Watch out for the jump at the bottom!
Here comes the cavalry
Army ROTC students practice maneuvers on campus. Don’t be alarmed if you see Mountaineer Company cadets early in the morning, decked out in camo and carrying full gear. They’re just training.
Ice Age: La Grande
Mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, giant beavers, camels, ground sloths and a rare bear once roamed our campus. Evidence from fossilized tusks discovered in 2010 indicates Columbian mammoths may have avoided extinction in our valley longer than anywhere else on the planet – pretty cool!
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Follow the Oregon Trail...right through town.
Take a walk along B Avenue and try to envision covered wagons making their descent. For more pioneer history, head 14 miles north of La Grande to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Park at Blue Mountain Crossing.
