O I-84. Nestled where the locals describe “Treasure Valley,” Ontario is at the convergence of four rivers: the Snake, Malheur, Owyhee, and Payette. The Four Rivers Cultural Center and Museum celebrates the area’s history and the cultures of Native Americans, Basque, European, Japanese, and Hispanic settlers. Ontario features six shopping areas including the historic downtown offering tax-free shopping. The area also offers year-round road biking and outdoor recreation, including the Owyhee Reservoir and Dam, and Exceptional Dark Sky Viewing! Vale, west on US 26, was the first town in Oregon on the Oregon Trail. Today, a series of 30 murals by professional artists depict this early history. OntarioChamber.com
