Buck Mountain, elevation 11,396 feet (3,474 meters), is the highest peak in the range and lies within Colorado.
[2] Copper resources within the range were extracted during the late 19th and early 20th centuries by the Ferris-Haggarty Mine which lies about two miles west of Bridger Peak.
[6] Much of the range lies within the Medicine Bow – Routt National Forest.
[9] The range supports a number of popular game species, including elk, mule deer, and grouse, along with other species mentioned in the state's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy Report.
[10] In 2009 the state's Game and Fish Department, describing its wildlife as "world class", issued a report recommending that the area's natural values be analyzed and that energy development leases in the area be withdrawn.
