The Highland Mountains are a large group of mountain ranges at the Viery Territory of the UNSC's fortress world Reach.[1] The Highland Mountains were home to many facilities used by the UNSC, including Reach High Command, the Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex, Camp Hathcock, Camp Independence and ONI's CASTLE Base under Menachite Mountain. After the Battle of Reach, these mountains were the only area not glassed by the Covenant, though glassing did occur in the area on a small scale.[2]

Other areas of the Highland Mountains include the Military Wilderness Training Preserve where Longhorn Valley, ODG Facility A-331 and the Big Horn River were located.

Wild blueberry bushes[3] and cedar trees[4] grew in the mountains.
