Triangulating from the cairns…
the total precipitation falls as snow from October through May. As spring advances, snow disappears progressively from lower to higher elevations, and from south slopes first. The varied topography of the Forest is typical of the southern Rocky Mountains. The western portion of the Forest is characterized by rugged mountains and narrow, steep-sided valleys filled with alluvium and glacial outwash. Southern and eastern portions are remnants of an old peneplain, dissected by glaciers and characterized by long, gentle, relatively uniform slopes. The northern portion is a nearly level, broad valley dissected by St. Louis Creek and surrounded by rolling hills.
