Blue Mountain Scenic Byway

Whether traveling by car, bicycle, or motorcycle, the beautiful Blue Mountain Scenic Byway in Morrow County will transport you through a slice of heaven in Eastern Oregon. This long, paved, two-lane stretch will take you through the historic communities of Ione, Lexington, and Heppner.

Tip: For a full adventure of the byway, start on the west side at Heppner Junction off of I-84 and continue east through Morrow County all the way to Baker City. These views of the Blues will fill you with joy.
