This high mountain preserve encompasses 2,764 acres at elevations ranging from 4400 to 7882 feet in the Eastern Cascades. Chopaka Mt. NAP protects 14 state Sensitive plant species, including a number of rare sedges, gentians, moonworts, cinquefoils, and the few-flowered shooting star. Mountain goats range the rocky ridgetops on the preserve's highest peaks (Chopaka supported the last native herd of bighorn sheep in Washington, which was hunted out in the 1920's). The preserve also supports fine examples of low-growing alpine turf communities, subalpine forests, creeks, ponds, and meadows abundant with mountain wildflowers. (Okanogan County)
