Elevations range from 1220-2620 m. Sites include moderate to steep, middle and lower slopes with cool northern or eastern aspects, intermittently flooded canyon bottoms, alluvial benches, and shaded colluvial slopes. Acer grandidentatum and Quercus gambelii codominate the tree canopy. The understory is variable and may be dominated by tall or short shrubs.
