Caution
Safe backcountry travel requires preparation, planning, and experience. This website provides you some planning tools, but does not attempt to provide you with all the information required. If you travel in the winter backcountry, we strongly urge you to consider advanced education. Please see our education page for infomation on local opportunities.
WAC News
Thanks to recent sponsors
WAC would like to thank local Wallowa County sponsors for donating equipment for a HAM radio repeater system on the Salt Creek Summit Community building. Wallowa County Search and Rescue (WCSAR) paid for the antenna system, Loren of Les Schwab in Enterprise donated the deep cycle batteries to power the system and Sunstorage of Enterprise donated the solar panel, wiring and labor to keep the batteries charged.
This is an important safety communication system for WAC when we are up in the backcountry doing observations as well as WCSAR, ECX sled dog race, and the general public to use with an Amateur Radio license. This sets WAC up nicely with infrastructure necessary for a future weather station up there. Thanks to these folks.
