The Barren Mountains ecoregion is largely underlain by quartzite and carbonate-rich rocks and is drier than mountainous ecoregions to the north. Elevations are higher than those of Ecoregion 17ab and range from about 6,800 to 10,000 feet. Open-canopied Douglas- fir – lodgepole pine – subalpine fir forests, aspen groves, sagebrush, mountain brush, and grasses occur. Forests are limited to a narrow elevational band and are most widespread on north-facing slopes. Pacific forest elements are absent and barrens are common.
