About
Blue Mountain is a peak in the northeastern section of Olympic National Park, in the state of Washington, United States. Its address is given as Deer Park Road, Port Angeles, WA 98362. The mountain stands at 6,007 feet and is described as accessible, which makes it a practical outing for visitors who want high country views without a long, technical climb.
What the visit offers
The main draw is the view. From the upper slopes, the setting opens toward the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the waterway that separates the Olympic Peninsula from Canada's Vancouver Island. Visitors coming for scenery, photography or a quiet day in the mountains will find that the peak suits this kind of outing.
