Dripping coastal forests of giant Douglas-firs, high desert groves of massive ponderosa pines, and lush mixed conifer forests surrounding jagged Cascade peaks--Oregon's ancient forests are one of the region's most precious treasures, providing not only vital habitat for fish and wildlife but also some of the most amazing hiking experiences in the state.
