The Copper Mountain WSA encompasses 6,858 acres of BLM-administered land
without any inholdings or split estate. It is part of the Copper Mountain
Range also known as the Bridger Mountains. It is dry and mountainous with
scattered limber pine and juniper on rocky slopes. The stark ridges and draws
of the study area stand in sharp contrast to the waters of nearby Boysen
Reservoir. The potential for primitive and unconfined recreation is somewhat
outstanding based on diversity of activities; it includes hiking, hunting and
sightseeing for geological features. The topography offers a challenge and a
strenuous walk for day hikers or backpackers as well as for nontechnical rock
climbers. Both large and small game species inhabit the area.
