The Blue Mountains Trail is an effort led by Greater Hells Canyon Council (GHCC), a member-based organization comprised of individuals who love the Greater Hells Canyon Region, which stretches from the Seven Devils in Idaho to the Elkhorn Mountains in Oregon, the Blue Mountains to the Wallowas, and everything in between.

The Blue Mountains Trail is an immersive adventure through the diverse interconnected eco-regions that comprise the Greater Hells Canyon Region. The trail will take you deep into the mountains, forests, rivers, ecosystems, and communities of northeast Oregon. The experience of the trail connects with and highlights various cultural, historical, and geological aspects of the region.

Greater Hells Canyon Council is utilizing this survey to collect input from Blue Mountains Trail users, the recreation community, and residents living in proximity to the trail.
