You stand on a wide sidewalk in front of a low-brick storefront, phone in hand, while a remote host’s voice nudges you toward the alley mural and the next clue. The city hums—truck brakes, a distant cattle call, the hiss of coffee—while the Blue Mountains watch from the east, their basalt ridgelines cutting a patient silhouette against the sky. This is the Pendleton Prowl: a two-hour, phone-guided scavenger that turns downtown’s streets into a timed map of history and oddity.
