The block faulting is not as pronounced as ranges farther west. The range receives little more than 24 inches of precipitation per year and consequently is somewhat dry in appearance. Large stands of pine and fir are interspersed with thick aspen stands, while thick brush fills many creek bottoms. The high ridges are bare of trees. Valley-to-summit elevation differences can be substantial, and sections of the range are quite rugged.</div> <bR> <bR> <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=RwlPmzFTVd8&offerid=54295.10000851&type=4&subid=0"><IMG width="120" height="60" alt="Instant Rebate Store!" border="0" src="http://ak.buy.com/buy_assets/affiliate/01/120x60_instantrebates_101503.gif"></a><IMG border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=RwlPmzFTVd8&bids=54295.10000851&type=4&subid=0"> </td> </tr></table></body>
