The national forest lands in the Little Belts are timbered slopes of spruce, pine and fir and are basically tree covered to the very tops. There are some intermixed pockets of quaking aspens and numerous open grassy slopes. There has been considerable logging in the past and lots of the regrowth is brush that is good browse for moose. Some of the stream corridors are lined with willows, dogwood and numerous other small shrubs. The Snowys have extensive quaking aspens in the lower foothills on the north slopes. Then it is mainly forested with pines, fir and spruce to about half way up the mountain.
