A WESTERN FOREST. 



The forests of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast forest regions consist largely of pines, spruces, and 

 firs, with varying amounts of cedars, junipers, hemlocks, larches, and redwoods. Many of the western 

 forests extend to high altitudes. View in Lolo National Forest, Mont.
