Primary Features
The Mill Lake RNA is a alpine and subalpine high-elevation area with small lakes and wet meadows, all in excellent condition. It was originally selected to represent alpine and subalpine conditions with precambrian base rocks, largely quartzite. Although alpine areas are limited in Idaho, Mill Lake RNA harbors unique vegetation.
