Phenology
Flowering from June throughout July.
Species range
Endemic to Utah, this columbine is found in the eastern Uinta Mountains in Uintah County.
Threats or limiting factors
Due to its steep isolated habitat, there are likely to be few threats (Franklin 2005). Populations on Ashley National Forest seem to have little threat (S. Goodrich, USFS, pers. comm. 2011). However, some occurrences are near a phosphate mines and could be impacted by mining operations. Climate change causing severe droughts could also be an issue as hanging gardens are water dependent.
