Baker City is a charming, walkable eastern Oregon town with a restored historic downtown, local cafes and breweries, and easy access to hiking, fishing and scenic drives — a comfortable, affordable base for travel therapists who want peaceful shifts plus rewarding weekend outdoor options.
La Grande, the nearest larger hub with more shopping, restaurants and hospital options, is about 44 miles away, and nearby mountain areas (Wallowa/Blue Mountains) make day trips simple so you won’t feel stuck during a multi‑week assignment.
