Gifford Pinchot National Forest
The Gifford Pinchot National Forest is one of the oldest National
Forests in the United States. Included as part of the Mt Rainier Forest
Reserve in 1897, this area was set aside as the Columbia National Forest
in 1908, and subsequently renamed the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in
1949.  Located in southwest Washington State, the forest comprises about
1.4 million acres and includes the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic
Monument established by Congress in 1982.  While Mt. Adams Ranger
District is located in a rural setting, several of the larger
metropolitan population areas in the Pacific Northwest access the forest
for many types of recreational activities.  The Portland-Vancouver metro
area is located within a couple hours’ drive of the district.

Candidates may learn about the Forest, our programs, and our
opportunities by visiting its award-winning web site.
