The Mesa Highlands ecoregion includes the highest elevations of Balakai, Black, Skeleton, and Zinez mesas, ranging from 6800 to 8210 feet. The temperatures are cooler and the annual precipitation is greater than in the lower-elevation Dinétah Tablelands (22q). Some ponderosa pine occurs here but is mostly lacking from the surrounding tablelands of Ecoregion 22q. Pinyon, juniper, big sagebrush, cliffrose, Mormon tea, muttongrass, prairie junegrass, squirreltail, western wheatgrass, and blue grama also occur.
