The western range consists of Ott's Basin, the Dufort area, and runs south toward Huckleberry and Long Mountains. The eastern mountains are more prominent and form a chain from Gold Hill southward for nearly 30 miles (48 km) all the way to Cape Horn near Bayview, Idaho. The only major road that crosses this eastern chain is Sagle Road, which noticeably climbs steadily until a steep hill wind down toward Lake Pend Oreille and the small resort town of Garfield Bay. These mountains feature sightings of deer, elk, moose, and turkeys very common. Bears, cougars, and even the occasional wolf are sometimes observed in this chain. The flora features a wide variety of trees, from the western larch and ponderosa pine to the western red cedar and western hemlock. Additionally, Huckleberry patches are widespread throughout these hills.
