It is the only mountainous, mixed-conifer forest refuge outside Alaska[4] and the largest in Washington state.

Wildlife found in the refuge include numerous songbirds, bald eagles, elk, black bears, timber wolves, cougars, moose, beavers, and white-tailed deer.

Public uses include hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and horseback riding.[4]
