This is a dissected landscape of steep ridges and v-shaped canyons formed by
the many drainages leading north to Westwater Creek Canyon along the northern
boundary, east to Sulphur Creek and Antone Wash, and south to Diamond Canyon.
Flume Canyon itself runs south in the central part of the WSA. The western
portion of the WSA was partially burned in a large fire that occurred in the
summer of 2002. The primary recreation use of the area is hunting, but the WSA
also provides opportunities for hiking, backpacking and photography. It has
year round populations of mountain lion, elk and black bear.

Flume Canyon

This WSA consists of a landscape cut by steep ridges and v-shaped canyons and
formed by the many drainages leading south to Cottonwood Canyon along its
southern boundary. Its major canyons include Cherry, Tepee, Spruce, Bull and
Halfway. Nearly half of the WSA is covered by a Douglas fir forest. Half of
this WSA was burned in a large fire in 2002; the area is currently re-
vegetating. Spruce Canyon has year-round populations of mountain lion, elk and
black bear. Recreational use of the area is low due to its remote location and
limited access, with hunting being the most popular activity. Other recreation
activities include hiking, backpacking, and horseback riding.

Spruce Canyon WSA

Like the Floy Canyon WSA immediately to the west, Coal Canyon WSA sits between
the face of the Bookcliffs and the top of the Roan Cliffs. It is a dissected
landscape of steep ridges and v-shaped canyons formed by many drainages
including Cottonwood, Sagers, Horse, Spring, Coal and Dry canyons. Vegetation
is predominantly pinyon-juniper woodland with high desert plant communities
along the southern portion of the WSA. Other vegetation includes Douglas fir,
sagebrush, riparian and mountain shrub. Erosional features of scenic interest
are pinnacles, balanced rocks, alcoves, overhangs, potholes, and arches. The
WSA has year-round populations of elk, mountain lion, black bear and Rocky
mountain bighorn sheep. The primary recreational use of the area is hunting.
Additional recreational opportunities in the WSA include hiking, horseback
riding, backpacking, camping and sightseeing. Portions of this WSA were burned
in a large fire in 2002; the area is currently revegetating.
