Gifford Pinchot National Forest
National Forest · Vancouver, Washington
1.32 million acres of the southern Washington Cascades, named for the first Chief of the United States Forest Service and running from Mount Rainier down to the Columbia River. It wraps around Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, which is administered as part of it, and takes in Mount Adams - the second highest mountain in Washington and by far the least visited of its big volcanoes. The huckleberry fields at Sawtooth have been gathered by the Yakama for generations and remain treaty-reserved.
