From Elgin, Hells Canyon/Wallowa Valley Scenic Highway heads east, encountering first the Minam River and then the Wallowa. The two-lane road passes through a narrow portion of the Wallowa River Valley, with the sparkling river just a few yards away. Minam State Park is just off SR 82, and a small rest area a couple miles east offers a perfect opportunity to pause and enjoy the scenery.
