Blue Mountain Forest State Scenic Corridor, State park scenic corridor along Old Oregon Trail Highway, United States
The corridor protects mature evergreen forests with western larch, Engelmann spruce, lodgepole pine, and grand fir trees along Interstate 84.
Explorer David Thompson named the Blue Mountains in 1811 after observing their blue coloration against the sky while traveling toward the Columbia River.
The corridor maintains undisturbed examples of native plants and animals, including white-tailed deer, Rocky Mountain elk, and mountain lions in their natural habitat.
Visitors can access the park throughout the year for day use, with current restrictions on campfires and open flames starting from July 2024.
This location represents one of the few remaining mature evergreen forest sections between Ogden, Utah and The Dalles, Oregon along Interstate 84.
