Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains are a small, forested mountain range located in the remote northeast corner of Maine. The range is characterized by rounded, densely wooded peaks with few exposed rock faces or dramatic summits. Elevations range from around 1,500 feet in the valleys to just over 3,000 feet at the highest points. The terrain consists mostly of hardwood and coniferous forests, with occasional alpine meadows and ponds nestled between the hills. Despite its relatively low elevation compared to other New England ranges, the Blue Mountains offer a peaceful, wilderness-like experience for hikers and backpackers.
