Okanogan National Forest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Okanogan National Forest is a U.S. National Forest in north-central Washington State, United States. The 6077 square km forest is bordered on the north by Canada, on the east by Colville National Forest, on the south by the divide between the Methow and the Stehekin-Lake Chelan valleys, and on the west by North Cascades National Park. Pasayten Wilderness and the northeast portion of Lake-Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness are part of the forest. The western part of the forest is wetter than the dry and less temperate east. The vegetation varies similarly, from the western boreal forest, to the eastern high-elevation steppe.
