Blue Mountain Scenic Byway
In 1997 the Blue Mountain Scenic Byway achieved Oregon State Scenic Byway status through the efforts of the Umatilla National Forest Rural Community Assistance Program. Since its designation the Byway has been maintained under the watch of ODOT Engineering Services unit of Roadway Engineering and the Blue Mountain Scenic Byway Action Group (BAG), who have coordinated their efforts to place signs and markers and to provide Byway travel services information brochures supporting the marketing, promotion and development of the Byway.
The byway stretches 130 miles from the Willow Creek intersection of Interstate 84 and State Highway 74 through Ione, Lexington and Heppner. From Heppner the Byway goes south along Willow Creek Road until it exits Morrow County into Umatilla County in the Umatilla National Forest.
The Blue Mountain Scenic Byway Interpretation and Visitor Services and Implementation Guide was created in 1993 to guide development of a logical sequence of complimentary interpretive services and visitor accommodations associated with the Blue Mountain Scenic Byway. The Blue Mountains through the southern portion of the county are rich with history and beauty, including numerous opportunities to catch a glimpse of the diverse wildlife in the area.
