The Semiarid Foothills ecoregion ranges in elevation from about 5,500 to 8,200 feet. Widely spaced junipers occur in a matrix dominated by mountain big sagebrush and bluebunch wheatgrass. Overall, the vegetation is distinct from that of the higher, wetter Wasatch Montane Zone (19d). Livestock grazing is common. Some rangeland has been cleared of trees and reseeded to grasses.
