A Special PlaceYellowstone's northern range is home to a large variety of plants and animals. It is unique - different from other areas in the park. What makes it different? · Elevations are 5,200 - 7,000 feet - lower than anywhere else in Yellowstone · Annual precipitation is less than 15 inches - drier than the rest of the park · Soils formed from many kinds of rock - rhyolitic soils are found elsewhere in Yellowstone · Winter wind and sun reduce snow depths in this open landscape - winter grazing is easier hereSagebrush, shrubs, and grasses grow abundantly in these conditions. This habitat is perfect for large grazing animals, whose presence supports a variety of predators.Welcome to the TrailForces of the Northern Range Self-Guiding Trail is a ½-mile accessible loop. Benches along the trail provide a place to rest and enjoy the view. Please preserve the area by staying on the boardwalk.
