The Blues run from the southeastern corner of Washington to the southern extremity in northeastern Oregon. This range of mountains includes the Umatilla National Forest. The Blue Mountains offer many recreational opportunities - there is something for every mountain enthusiast. Huckleberry picking, mushroom hunting, hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, picnicking, skiing, hiking, cabin rentals, motor biking, snowmobiling, woodcutting, mountain climbing, and sightseeing.

The summit ridge in the Blues has an elevation from 6,000 to 7,000 feet. The Blue Mountains support one of the largest herds of Rocky Mountain elk found in any national forest in the nation.
