The Uinta Mountains rise from 7,500 to 13,528 feet at the summit of Kings Peak, offering diverse habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna. Above treeline, tundra plant communities thrive in the harsh climate of the highest altitudes. Thick forests of Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and lodgepole pine blanket the land below treeline. These forests are interrupted by park-like meadows and lush wetlands. In the lower elevations, aspen groves and countless mixed species offer contrast to the scene. The Uinta Mountains are home to: elk, mule deer, moose, mountain goats, coyotes, black bears, bighorn sheep, ptarmigan, river otter, several species of raptor, pine marten, and cougar, to name a few.

I am going there camping in two weeks and found it funny that the USDA says there are raptors there. Or maybe they really do still live there......... :noes:

 

raptors = condors, vultures etc. (birds of prey)

edit: damnit!

 

Oh, well that would make more sense............guess I won't be having any run in's with dino's this camping trip.

 

I wish they made a real Jurassic Park.

 

You should reconsider going camping....

 

I would have one of those dinos that spit at you. I think it was the spitolopagus

 

Have you read any of the 3 books? The movies left out all the scientific facts explaining the escape and migration of the animals, and how the earth had to cope with it. truly scary.
