The Aldo Leopold Wilderness area stretches north-south along the crest of the Black Range for about 30 miles (48 km) and has a maximum width of about 15 miles (24 km). The elevation of the crest ranges from 8,600 to 10,165 feet (2,621 to 3,098 m) at McKnight Mountain, the highest point in the wilderness area. The crest of the range overlooks a series of east-west trending steep and narrow stream valleys, one thousand or more feet deep. The lowest elevation in the wilderness is about 6,000 feet (1,830 m). Vegetation in the Aldo Leopold consists of a spruce-fir and quaking aspen forest above 9,000 feet (2,740 m), a ponderosa pine forest between 6,500 and 9,000 feet (2,000 and 2,700 m) and a pinyon-juniper woodland and desert vegetation below 6,500 feet and on dry southern slopes. Hardwood forests, especially cottonwood, line many of the larger streams.
