The Maritime-Influenced Zone ecoregion is the portion of the Blue Mountains ecoregion that directly intercepts marine weather systems moving east through the Columbia River Gorge. It is characterized by a dissected, gently-sloping to hilly volcanic plateau and mountain valleys. Elevation varies from 3,000 to 6,000 feet (914 to 1,829 m).
The Blue Mountains are a dissected plateau carved in sandstone bedrock. [41] They are now a series of ridge lines separated by gorges up to 760 metres (2,490 ft) deep. The highest point in the Blue Mountains, as it is now defined, is an unnamed point with an elevation of 1,189 m (3,901 ft) AHD, located 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north-east of Lithgow.
The Blue Mountains are a mountain range in the northwestern United States, located largely in northeastern Oregon and stretching into extreme southeastern Washington. The range has an area of about 15,000 square miles (39,000 km 2 ), stretching east and southeast of Pendleton, Oregon , to the Snake River along the Oregon– Idaho border.
The annual rite on Groundhog Day isn’t great at predicting the length of winter. But there are some science-based links between plants, animals and incoming weather.
The Blue Mountains on average typically receives greater than 1,000 millimetres (39 in) of rainfall per year; [8] the low subsurface permeability, combined with the slowed runoff, assists in the formation of these biodiverse swamp communities in Blue Mountains.
January is a prime ice fishing month in our region, and here are the top options as of this writing. Stay safe out there, and remember that ice conditions can change quickly.
The Blue Mountains National Park is a protected national park that is located in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia.The 267,954-hectare (662,130-acre) national park is situated approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) west of the Sydney CBD, and the park boundary is quite irregular as it is broken up by roads, urban areas and areas of private property.

Keep a safe distance: Give animals their space. The National Park Service’s requirements are a good rule of thumb — 25 yards from most wildlife and 100 yards from predators like bears and wolves.
