Blue Mountain Forest State Scenic Corridor lies along the Old Oregon Trail Highway between Deadman's Pass and Spring Creek. It protects one of the few examples of mature evergreen forest on I-84 between Ogden, Utah and The Dalles. The forest has intermittent stands of old-growth ponderosa pine, western larch, Engelmann spruce, lodgepole pine and grand fir, with undisturbed native plants and animals. White-tailed and mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk and cougar live here.
