"Extends from relatively low elevations to alpine conditions thus embracing a wide variety of forest and grassland conditions typical of this part of the Lemhi mountains. It contains sagebrush-grass vegetation in places on lower south-facing slopes to mostly forest vegetation of Douglas-fir,
subalpine fir, and whitebark pine types with increasing elevation, with a cap of alpine vegetation on the ridgetop of the north-facing slope."
