Beyond Heppner rolling hills surround Heppner as they rise to meet the Blue Mountains. From Heppner Highway 74 continues on to the cities of Ukiah and La Grande, meandering over the Blue Mountains, earning Heppner the name “Gateway to the Blues”. Canyons, rivers, farms and ranches add to the picturesque drive along what is also known as the Blue Mountain Scenic Byway and the Blue Mountain Century Scenic Bikeway.
