| Description |
The Double R Ranch CWMU is southeast of Strawberry Reservoir and south of the Strawberry River. The high point of the Unit is more in the middle of the Unit at over 9000 feet, the north extension of the Willow Creek Ridge. This high point drops away to 8200 feet on the west and 8000 feet on the south. Willow Creek cuts the Unit on the west (8000 to 7300 feet), and Bear Canyon cuts the unit on the east (8600 feet to 7400 feet). The most common elevation is 8800 feet but ranges from 7500 feet to 9500 feet with an elevation difference of 2000 feet. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 8200 feet and 8900 feet an elevation difference of 700 feet.
About forty percent (40%) of the Double R Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62). This Sagebrush Steppe
has large patches of Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22) scattered throughout it. To a lesser extent there are smaller patches of Rocky Mountain Subalpine Mesic Spruce-fir Forest and Woodland (28) and Rocky Mountain Bigtooth Maple Ravine Woodland (23)
mingled with the Sagebrush Steppe and Aspen. There are areas of Rocky Mountain Cliff and Canyon (5). Also, Rocky Mountain Subalpine Dry-Mesic Spruce-fir Forest and Woodland (26) and Rocky Mountain Montane Mesic Mixed Conifer Forest and Woodland (32) add to the
Forest and Woodland character of the Unit.
