Description: This shrubland association is present in southern and central Idaho, western Wyoming, northeastern Oregon, and central and western Colorado. Stands are found above 1524 m (5000 feet) elevation predominantly on southerly aspects of moderate to steep mountain ridges and slopes. In Colorado, the association is found on gentle slopes or ridgetops. Soils are derived from colluvial deposits with a moderate to high percentage of course fragments. <i>Artemisia tridentata ssp. vaseyana</i> dominates the shrub overstory. Commonly the shrub <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus</i> may be present but with low cover. The understory is dominated by <i>Carex geyeri</i>.
