Touching the Canadian border and spanning nearly 4 million acres, the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest is the largest national forest of the Pacific Northwest and the secret escape of Washingtonians looking to evade the heavy crowds of the state’s 3 national parks. Firs, pines, and spruce dominate the subalpine forest creating a haven for wildlife that includes hares and pine martens, lynx and wolves, and mountain goats and black bears.
