The Timbered Crater Wilderness Study Area is an outstanding showcase for the
geology of extinct volcanic craters. The alternating depressions and buttes
are dominated by a 500-foot butte at the rim of the crater. The crater
provides the only northeastern California habitat for the Baker cypress tree.
Because Timbered Crater lies at the junction of the Great Basin and Cascade
Mountains ecosystems, there is a unique blend of desert and mountain plant
communities. Vegetation ranges from pine, western juniper and Oregon white oak
to desert plants such as big sagebrush, needle grass, and blue grass.
