Vinegar Hill, the highest peak in the Greenhorn Mountains between Baker City and John Day, deserves a more dignified title — but the name doesn’t mar the view from its summit
Whoever named Vinegar Hill must have hated the place.
Or else loved it.
Some strong emotion, anyway, seems to have influenced the responsible party.
I can think of no more likely explanation, at any rate, for why this
eminence on Grant County’s topography came to be saddled with such a
ill-suited moniker.

This is free fishing weekend throughout Oregon
Snow continues to clog alpine trails and lakes in Northeastern
Oregon, but anglers who prefer prey larger than mountain trout have
more options than usual.
Fishing for hatchery-raised chinook salmon is open now on the Snake
River below Hells Canyon Dam, and in the Powder River between Mason Dam
and the Hughes Lane Bridge in Baker City.
