About Halfway

Tucked into the scenic Pine Valley of eastern Oregon, Halfway is a quiet, close-knit rural town about an hour east of Baker City near the Idaho border. The town got its name from its spot halfway between the farming hamlet of Pine and the historic mountain mining camp of Cornucopia. Today, it serves as the friendly heart of the valley, supporting local cafes, small shops, and the Pine Eagle school district against a backdrop of working ranches and wide-open pastures.

For anyone looking to slow down, life here revolves around the outdoors and a tight community. With Hells Canyon and the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest right in the backyard, hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, and river trips on the Snake River are just minutes away. It is a peaceful, remote mountain haven where neighbors look out for one another and the pace of life lets you enjoy the surrounding beauty.
