FREMONT GORGE WILDERNESS STUDY AREA

Values

The WSA is on a broad plateau that slopes gently north-northeast, and is intricately dissected by deep, narrow, meandering canyons that drain eastward into the Fremont River. Narrow, relatively flat-topped ridges separate the canyons. Vegetation is predominantly pinyon-juniper with associated grasses. Ecological and botanical features are related to high quality riparian habitat along Sulfur Creek. Peregrine falcons, bald eagles, and golden eagles may frequent the WSA.
