Pilot Rock, OR

Set at the base of the Blue Mountains about 15 miles south of Pendleton, Pilot Rock is a quiet rural town with deep roots in farming and timber. The community takes its name from a distinct rock bluff that once served as a landmark for travelers along the Oregon Trail. Today, Birch Creek winds right through the area, offering residents plenty of open space, scenic views, and a slower pace of life while keeping the conveniences of Pendleton close by.
