The Intermountain Region of the Forest Service encompasses nearly 34-million acres of National Forest System land. The region consists of 13 National Forests and one National Grassland, administered by Forest Supervisors in Utah, Nevada, southern Idaho and western Wyoming.
Four major geographic provinces come together to form the Intermountain West. They include the Great Basin, Colorado Plateau, Middle Rocky Mountains and the Northern Rocky Mountains. These provinces are the reason for the tremendous diversity of landscapes and ecosystems within the Intermountain Region.
