Shaniko was a wool-shipping railroad town where passenger trains stopped by the early 1930s and the line closed in 1966. About thirty people live here now among the 1900 Shaniko Hotel, listed on the National Register in 1979, an old jail, a schoolhouse with a toy museum, a wooden water tower and a small museum. Businesses are open mostly April through September, and the town fills for Shaniko Days in August.
Free to walk; the hotel's current status was conflicting, so confirm before planning a visit.
