Description: This shrubland association is present in southern and central Idaho, western Wyoming, northeastern Oregon, and central Colorado. Stands are found above 1524 m (5000 feet) elevation predominately on southerly aspects of moderate to steep mountain ridges and slopes. In Colorado, the association is found on gentle slopes of westerly aspects. Soils are of colluvium deposits with a moderate to high percentage of course fragments. Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana dominates the shrub overstory. Commonly the shrub Symphoricarpos oreophilus may be present but with low cover. The understory is dominated by Carex geyeri. Common herbaceous species include Arenaria aculeata, Eriogonum heracleoides, Eriogonum umbellatum, Festuca idahoensis, Hesperostipa comata ssp. comata, and Lupinus argenteus.
