Mris - you must not know Oregon well if you say, "whereas in CO and
OR it's mountain, trees, mountain, trees." The whole eastern 2/3 of
the state is technically desert. Sure, there are a few forests
where mountains poke up enough to catch the clouds not fully wrung
dry by the Cascades, but also a whole lotta sage.
Oregon is a very diverse state. Where else can you go from over 180
inches of rain a year (and less than 5 of those inches in July,
August & September) in the north Coast Range, to less than 5
inches a year in the Alvord Desert? (Upper left corner to lower
right corner of the state)
