The rugged terrain and lack of access provide many opportunities for solitude and wilderness experiences. Mt. Moriah, at an elevation of 12,050 feet and adjacent l,000-acre plateau known as 'The Table', are the center of the wilderness attractions. The Table is a unique high-elevation plateau covered with subalpine vegetation, and ancient bristlecone and limber pine stands occur along its edge. Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and the Bonneville cutthroat trout are also special attractions in this area. The Great Basin National Park is approximately 6 air miles to the south or about 15 miles away by paved highway and graveled road.
Vegetation varies with the elevation.
Pinyon pine and juniper dominate the lower slopes. Aspen, mountain mahogany, white and Douglas-fir, limber pine, and bristlecone pine are found in the upper elevations. Sage brushgrass types are located throughout the area. All recreation use occurs as dispersed activities. Hunting is the major activity, followed by hiking, fishing, photography, camping, sight-seeing and wildlife viewing.
