Description:

Mount Howard is an 8,255 ft. peak next to Wallowa Lake. The only way to access the many easy and family friendly trails at the top, is to take the Wallowa Lake Tramway. When it was constructed in 1970, it was the longest lift in North America, gaining a total of 3,700 vertical feet. The gondola ride takes 15 minutes and travels 1.8 miles up Mount Howard. It is a bit dizzying, and not great for those who are afraid of heights. When visiting the Wallowa Lake area, it is definitely an experience one shouldn't miss out on, but unfortunately the rates for the tramway are insanely expensive, ranging from youth rates at $26 per person to adult rates at $36 per person!

Each gondola can seat 4 people. As you travel up the mountain, you will see Wallowa Lake and the fields beyond to the north, and the large granite peaks of the Wallowa mountains to the south. 
The tramway drops you off at the Summit Grill & Patio where you can enjoy an overpriced lunch and a drink with one of the most spectacular views. To make the most of the pricey ride up, make sure to explore up to 2.5 miles of trails that take you to various different viewpoints. 
The full loop is 2.5 miles, but you can do a shorter loop or various out and back hikes, depending on how much time you have and your fitness level. All of these trails are very easy and well-groomed, but you are at elevation, so that can make it a bit more strenuous for some.

trail to Summit Overlook Mount Howard
It is a total of 0.25 miles from the tramway to the Royal Purple viewpoint. Here you will see amazing views of Bonneville Mountain straight in front of you and Matterhorn in the distance. From the Royal Purple viewpoint you can continue 0.25 miles up to Summit overlook. In the month of July, on the way there you will see meadows of wildflowers. The flowers up here are rare and delicate, so please stay on the trail and do not trample the wildflowers.

From Summit overlook it is another 1/8th of a mile to the next viewpoint, Highlands Overlook. Here you will see the backside of the Wallowa mountains over to Idaho. The landscape is just absolutely breathtaking and awe-inspiring. From here, continue on 0.75 miles to the Snake River Country overlook and View of Seven Devils.

From here you can see the mountain of Idaho to the east, as well as into Washington state to the north. To continue the loop, head over another 0.75 miles to the Valley overlook. Here you will see Wallowa Lake below as well as the town of Joseph and the many fields beyond. After checking out this last viewpoint, walk back the 0.65 miles to the tramway.

Overall, the trail network on Mount Howard is an amazing place to take the whole family. The trails offer an easy look at the epic Wallowa Mountain range without having to hike or backpack deep into the wilderness. These trails are perfect for the whole family, from toddlers to great grandma. Most of the trails are wide and packed dirt, making them easy to navigate with sneakers or even sturdy sandals. Even though the tramway is expensive, it is worth the trip up to these incredible viewpoints!
