The Mid-elevation Uinta Mountains ecoregion is glaciated and forested. It occupies the elevational zone between 8,000 and 10,000 feet in the Uinta Mountains. Here Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, aspen parkland, and, in the north, lodgepole pine grow. The vegetation is distinct from the lower juniper-pinyon woodlands of Ecoregions 20c and 20g and the higher, wetter Uinta Subalpine Forests (19b) and Alpine Zone (19a). Ecoregion 19c’s terrain is more rugged than Ecoregion 19b. Its deep canyons contain many good quality, perennial streams that are fed by meltwater from the high Uinta Mountains. They provide water to lower, more arid ecoregions.
