The wet, glaciated Granitic Subalpine Zone ecoregion is forested and characterized by lake-studded terrain that is far less rugged than the surrounding Middle Rockies (17). Quaternary drift, colluvium, and talus are common. Ecoregion 17k is underlain by Precambrian pre-Belt rock and is lithologically distinct from the adjacent Absaroka-Gallatin Volcanic Mountains (17i). Climax vegetation is mapped as subalpine fir and Douglas-fir forests and is distinct from that of the Alpine Zone (17h).
