Wasatch Montane Zone

Ecoregion in Rocky Mountains in UT, ID

Generate High-Quality PDF

The Wasatch Montane Zone is found above about 7,400 feet elevation. Its mountains are covered in a mixture of mountain big sagebrush, mountain brush, and conifer forests. Douglas-fir and aspen parkland are common on north-facing slopes and many less sloping areas. Mountain big sagebrush, snowberry, and understory grasses grow on south-facing slopes. Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir grow at highest elevations and on steep, north-facing slopes. The vegetation mosaic is unlike the sagebrush grassland and widely spaced junipers of the lower Semiarid Foothills (19f).
