In the southern Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon, Monument Rock, Bullrun Rock, and Table Rock tower over the many streams that form the headwaters of the Little Malheur River and the upper drainages of the South Fork of the Burnt River. Elevations range from 5,120 feet on the Little Malheur to 7,815 feet on Table Rock, with subalpine fir growing in the higher elevations. Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, white fir, lodgepole pine, and quaking aspen cover the more moderate slopes. Large, grassy meadows bright with summer wildflowers appear willy-nilly, a sunny contrast to the shadowy forest. Black bears, deer, elk, badgers, and, albeit rarely, a wolverine or two still find a reclusive hideaway in this quiet Wilderness.
Hawks commonly swoop overhead, and grouse scurry down below.
About 15 miles of relatively easy trails provide access to the area and to excellent viewpoints. Strawberry Mountain Wilderness lies not far to the east.
