Wallowa-Whitman National Forest

Around the Forest

The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is an area characterized by dry weather, cold winters, and hot summers. The forest is located in the northeastern corner of Oregon, and includes sections of Hell's canyon and the Snake River, on the border of Idaho, as well as the granite Wallowa and Blue mountain ranges.

The forest is close to Baker City and La Grande. Less than 40 miles north of the forest is Pendleton, home of the Pendleton Roundup, one of the best rodeos in the country. (If you've never seen a real live cowboy, this is the place to go.) The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest provides you with a great opportunity to actually escape to the outdoors, and leave the crowds behind.
