Mount Evans and Mount Howe are located along the Continental Divide with Mount Haggin a few miles north of the Divide. All three mountains have peaks over 10,000 feet making for extremely rugged talus slopes. Garrity Mountain sits at 8,057 feet and provides a backdrop for the wildlife management area that carries its name. Significant, rocky drainages flowing north of the Divide include: Twin Lakes, Storm Lake, Dry, Page, Mill, Clear and Barker. Ridges leading up to the highest peaks start out with elevations above 6,000 feet and climb to over 9,000 feet. Deep gulches also have carved the landscape making cross-country travel challenging.

Many old clearcuts have rejuvenated into lush areas of browse and grasses. Mountain slopes have dense stands of ponderosa and lodgepole pine, spruce and fir, with groves of aspen. Creek bottoms are lined with cottonwood and willows. Open meadows have thick grasses and wildflowers. Alpine areas consist of meadows, moss, lichen and small groups of willow. Lower elevations have large areas of sagebrush, mountain shrubs and grasses.
