Pendleton, OR

united states

Pendleton anchors northeastern Oregon's wheat country at the junction of Interstate 84 and US 395, about 215 miles east of Portland. The city sits where the Blue Mountains meet high desert plateau, serving surrounding ranch and farming communities. Eastern Oregon Regional Airport offers flights to Portland and Seattle just west of downtown. The historic Pendleton Round-Up grounds host one of America's premier rodeos each September, while underground tunnels beneath Main Street tell stories of Chinese immigrants and Prohibition-era speakeasies.
