Northern Region
The National Forest lands in the Northern Region encompass 25 million acres in five states. Included are 12 national forests located in northeastern Washington, northern Idaho, and Montana; and a national grassland in North Dakota and northwestern South Dakota. The Region's expansive landscape features a vast array of native species in very diverse ecosystems. The regional boundaries extend from the tall grass prairies of the Dakotas, through sagebrush communities and high-elevation whitebark pine forests in Montana, to old-growth Douglas-fir, cedar and hemlock forests of northern Idaho. The Northern Region also hosts 16 congressionally-designated wilderness areas, six National Wild and Scenic Rivers, the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, over 2,500 miles of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, and much more. The Region's unique wild areas truly offer countless adventures to experience the solitude, spirit and beauty of the American west. Viewing AreasIdaho
