Wallowa-Whitman National Forest

Welcome!

The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest includes 2.3 million acres ranging in elevation from 875 feet in Hells Canyon, to 9845 feet in the Eagle Cap Wilderness. Our forests are managed as sustainable ecosystems providing clean water, wildlife habitat and valuable forest products. And, for things to do and places to visit, this is the setting for a variety of year-round recreation.

The Forest extends from the Blue Mountains and rugged Wallowa Mountains down to the spectacular canyon country of the Snake River on the Idaho border.

Blue Mountains Forests Plan Revision

The Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests are combining efforts to revise their Forest Plans. The current Forest Plans are near the end of their intended 15-year life, and will be revised to address the substantial resource and social changes on the three Forests as well as new scientific information.
