Dramatic sandstone and siltstone bluffs, escarpments, areas of exposed bedrock, and Ponderosa pine woodlands are characteristic of the Pine Ridge Escarpment, distinguishing this region from the more level shortgrass and mixedgrass prairies of other Western High Plains regions. Ponderosa pine, in association with mixedgrass prairie, are found throughout the escarpment area on ridge tops, north-facing and east-facing slopes and, in lesser density, on south- facing and west-facing slopes.
