The North Uinta Basin Slopes ecoregion is a foothill area characterized by numerous mountain-fed streams that are entrenched into benches. It is warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and receives more annual precipitation than the Uinta Basin Floor (20f). Its large number of perennial streams and extensive, stony outwash deposits set it apart from Ecoregion 20c. Pinyon-juniper woodland is common. Mountain brush occurs at higher elevations and riparian vegetation is found along stream courses. Vegetation and climate contrast with the Douglas-fir forests of the higher and wetter Ecoregion 19c. Land use is mostly grazing and irrigated pasture but there is also some irrigated farmland. Major gas and oil fields are located within Ecoregion 20g.
