Passengers return to Elgin by bus at 8:30 p.m. On Saturday, there are two shortoptions thatprovidea taste of train travel and beautiful scenery, but leave plenty of time to pack more adventure or relaxation into the day. Riderscan board the train at Minam at 10 a.m., traveling down the Wallowa River to Rondowa Bridge, where the Grande Ronde and Wallowa Rivers join forces.
