		The Beartooth Mountains, the Absaroka Range, the Wind River Range, and the Bighorn Mountains (plate 1) are the major uplifted areas that, in combination with two volcanic fields (the Yellowstone Plateau and the Absaroka field), compose most of the Middle Rocky Mountains ecoregion.
		The crystalline core of Precambrian age of the Wind River Range is a high-grade metamorphic and igneous complex of migmatite, orthogneiss, and paragneiss, intruded by quartz diorite to granitic plutons (Hausel, 1989, p.
		The Yellowstone Plateau of Quaternary age and the Absaroka volcanic field of Tertiary and Cretaceous age are recognized as distinct geologic provinces (Snoke, 1993).

		It is to be hoped that the purchase of this winter range will be consummated without delay because of the pressing need for winter forage and the maladjustments resulting from congestion of game at the present feeding stations.
		The wolf is gone; but if suitable range and protection could be procured for all native animals of the park, the wolf might then have a place.
		If the park was only the fringe of its range, it might be very unwise to attempt to reestablish it unless it could be self-sustaining, or until enough of its range could be procured.

		The route is one of the highest elevation highways in the country; as it traverses across sensitive alpine tundra, and descending sheer cliff walls of Rock Creek Canyon, it provides a thrilling recreational experience.
		The Beartooth Mountains are a section of the greater Absaroka range, extending from Livingston in south-central Montana southeastward to the canyon of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone in northwestern Wyoming.
		The topography of the northern part of the range is extremely rugged, consisting of intensely glaciated terrain with jagged peaks, glacier-gouged basins, and steep-walled canyons.

		The area is topographically asymmetrical, with highest elevations (above 3000 m shaded) along the southeastern margin of Yellowstone in the Absaroka Range, and to the northeast on the Beartooth plateaus.
		The morphology of the former ice cap reflects the topography of the catchment area (both high ground and low), the topography of the ice cap itself, and the climate which fed it.
		The largest dome, in the Absaroka Range, was maintained by a combination of topographic forcing and ice rheology.
