At 24,672 acres, the Loomis NRCA is the largest in the state.  It includes mountains draped with vast forests of lodgepole pine and valleys with wet meadows and streams. Vegetation types also include Engelmann spruce, quaking aspen, Douglas fir, and both mid elevation and alpine meadows.  Twelve plant species of concern are protected in the Loomis NRCA, as well as important habitat for nine wildlife species (grizzly bear, Canada lynx, gray wolf, wolverine, northern goshawk, and four butterfly species) ranked as critically imperiled, vulnerable to extinction, or rare in Washington state.  The Loomis NRCA Management Plan is available.  (Okanogan County)
