Blue Mountain Region Trails Plan
In an unprecedented regional effort, more than 30 local, regional, state and federal stakeholder entities joined forces to develop a Blue Mountain Region Trails Plan that spans all local jurisdictions. The project collaboration resulted in the development of a community driven and locally supported regionwide non-motorized trail and transportation network that integrates existing and planned urban sidewalks and bike routes with urban and regional trails. The network provides access to outdoor recreation opportunities, increased walking and biking options, and connectivity among community centers and cultural, historical, and natural resource sites throughout the region.
