Green Gate, as locals call it, can be found by driving south around Wallowa Lake on the Wallowa Lake Highway. About 3/4 of the way down the length of the lake you will see a large pullout on the left, a gate, and signage. If you start seeing buildings, you have gone too far. This is a 3ish mile hike up and back along an old road cut. It is pretty steep, so be prepared to get some cardio in. It's worth it for the views!

You can also access the the moraine from the back side, where another trailhead was recently put in place. There are many trails on the back side and no signage but if you move generally uphill, you will eventually come to some incredible views of the lake and Chief Joseph Mountain. To access this trailhead, plug "Turner Lane Joseph Oregon" into Google Maps and drive to the west end of the road. You will see a large gravel parking lot on your left, this is the trailhead. There is also some decent mountain biking to be accessed from this same trailhead (see below).
