Welcome

The Umatilla National Forest, located in the Blue Mountains of southeast Washington and northeast Oregon, covers 1.4 million acres of diverse landscapes and plant communities. The Forest has some mountainous terrain, but most of the Forest consists of v-shaped valleys separated by narrow ridges or plateaus.

The landscape also includes heavily timbered slopes, grassland ridges and benches, and bold basalt outcroppings. Elevation range from 1,600 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Changes in weather are common, but summers are generally warm and dry with cool evenings. Cold, snowy winters and mild temperatures during spring and fall can be expected.

Blue Mountains Forest 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.
