Compared to the other half of the state, the climate of Eastern Oregon is a drier continental climate, with much greater seasonal variations in temperature and receives more snow in winter. The upper half is mostly forest and the lower half is semi-arid high desert. This desert climate is in part due to a rain shadow effect caused by the Cascade Range.

Pine and juniper forests cover 35% of Eastern Oregon, much in the mountains that include the Blue Mountains, Strawberry Mountains, Wallowa Mountains, Trout Creek Mountains, Ochoco Mountains, and Steens MountainOther landforms include the Alvord Desert, Owyhee Desert, Warner Valley, Deschutes River, Owyhee River, Grande Ronde River, Joseph Canyon, The Honeycombs, and Malheur Butte.
