The West Yellowstone Plateau ecoregion contains rhyolite and basalt flows, lakes, springs, outwash plains, moraines, canyons, and wetlands. Its terrain is generally subdued in contrast to the more mountainous portions of Ecoregion 17 but scattered ridges and buttes occur. Ecoregion 17j has a coniferous forest – shrubland mosaic. Forests dominated by Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, and aspen are most common on north-facing slopes and flatter uplands. Recreation is a very important land use but mining, grazing, and logging also occur.
