Northeast Oregon

Thinking of spending a week or 10 days in northeast Oregon this summer before going over to the central Oregon Coast. (No help needed with coast.) Probably coming north on I-84.

Wallowa Lake and John Day Fossil Beds and Painted Hills, maybe Sumpter dredge and railroad are all I know to include. Would like some help with itinerary in the area.

My spouse is handicapped....walker and mobility scooter are used as appropriate/necessary. So we mostly do scenic drives, viewpoints, visitor centers, museums, trams, boat tours (if easy to get on and off). No major hiking, though sometimes I walk a bit on a trail.

What other sites might we include? Anything in LaGrande or Baker City worth seeing?

Is this the best way to see Hell's Canyon? And is this road paved?
Joseph to Hell's Canyon

RV park suggestions? We need at least electric. I know about Wallowa Lake SP (or RV park in Joseph/Enterprise if SP is full). What is a convenient park for John Day Fossil Beds, with the different sections? Any other RV Parks near other suggested sightseeing?
