Explore Oregon Podcast: Elkhorn Mountains, Anthony Lakes a summertime jewel

In this episode of the Explore Oregon Podcast, host Zach Urness talks about the Elkhorn Mountains and Anthony Lakes area in eastern Oregon.

Urness breaks down the what makes the Elkhorns such a striking range, the best time to visit, where to stay and what to do when visiting. There's no shortage of hikes, alpine lakes, fishing, backpacking and wildlife to enjoy — along with an Old West ghost town with a haunted suction dredge (that you are allowed to visit).
