The Loomis Natural Resources Conservation Area consists of a north block and a south block totaling 24,672 acres. The mountainous landscape ranges from 4,400 to more than 7,800 feet in elevation, including two mountain peaks in the north block - Disappointment Peak (7,146 feet) and Snowshoe Mountain (7,823 feet). Its location in the eastern side of the Cascade Mountain Range results in a relatively dry climate, with cold snowy winters and hot dry summers with frequent lightning storms.
