The Ochoco Mountains are a mountain range in central Oregon in the United States, located at the western end of the Blue Mountains. They were formed when Permian, Triassic, and Jurassic rocks were slowly uplifted by volcanic eruptions to form the Clarno Formation. Today, the highest point in the range is Lookout Mountain. The dominant vegetation on the west side of the range is old-growth ponderosa pine; on the east side, western juniper is common. The western area of the mountains is administered by the Ochoco National Forest, while the southeastern section is part of the Malheur National Forest. The Ochoco Mountains are used for hiking, camping, bird watching, rockhounding, and hunting, as well as cross-country skiing in the winter. == Geography == The Ochoco Mountains run north to south and east to west.〔 The eight highest peaks in the range are:〔 * Lookout Mountain, summit * Spanish Peak, summit * Mount Pisgah, summit * Round Mountain, summit * East Point, summit * North Point, summit * Wolf Mountain, summit * View Point, summit 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ochoco Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
