The Western Beaverhead Mountains ecoregion occupies the elevational band between the High Elevation Rockland Alpine Zone (17h) and the lower, less rugged Ecoregion 17ab. It is underlain by quartzite and argillite; the lithologic mosaic and related slope stability and water quality issues are unlike those of Ecoregion 16k. Vegetation is affected by elevation and slope aspect. Mountain big sagebrush, mountain brush, and understory grasses grow on south-facing slopes and Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, aspen, and subalpine fir occur on north-facing slopes. Land uses include grazing, mining, recreation, and logging.
