tree species, and the hidden gems of alpine lakes and meadows.
Elevations vary from about
4000 feet (1200 meters) to the 9038 foot (2754 meters) top of
Strawberry Mountain. The Strawberry Mountain range extends east
to west through the center of the
Forest.

Blue Mountain 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. For more information please see the Blue
