The Wallowa Mountains (/wəˈlaʊwə/) are a mountain range located in the Columbia Plateau of northeastern Oregon in the United States. The range runs approximately 40 miles (64 km) northwest to southeast in southwestern Wallowa County and eastern Union County between the Blue Mountains to the west and the Snake River to the east. The range is sometimes considered to be an eastern spur of the Blue Mountains,[4] and it is known as the "Alps of Oregon".[3] Much of the range is designated as the Eagle Cap Wilderness, part of the Wallowa–Whitman National Forest.
