Description
The Grande Ronde River is a tributary of the Snake River, 182 miles long in northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington in the United States. In the early 19th century, the valley of the river was inhabited by Nez Perce, Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Cayuse tribes of Native Americans. The river today is a popular destination for hunting, especially for game animals such as mule deer, elk, black bear, cougar and bighorn sheep. Fishing, rafting and hiking are also popular along the designated Wild and Scenic portion of the river. Most of the middle reaches of the river are inaccessible to motor vehicles.
