UMATILLA NATIONAL FOREST HEADQUARTERS

The Umatilla National Forest is located in the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon. It covers 1.4 million acres of diverse landscapes and plant communities. The forest includes V-shaped valleys separated by narrow ridges or plateaus, as well as forested slopes, grassy ridges and bold basalt outcrops, with elevations ranging from 1,600 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Summers are generally hot and dry, with cool evenings. Cold, snowy winters can be expected, along with mild temperatures in spring and autumn. The forest offers many recreational opportunities, including over 2,000 miles of forest roads, over 715 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, wild mushroom and blueberry picking, and a choice of over 20 campsites.
