This 957-acre site protects a montane herbaceous bald ecosystem that supports two additional rare ecological features identified in the Washington State Natural Heritage Plan: the Roemer’s fescue-field chickweed-Junegrass community and the common bluecup plant (which actually is not very common in Washington State).
