<br />Pinnacle Peak <br />The landform of this type is a distinct conical shaped hill, <br />with steeply sloping banks rising above the flat valley bot- <br />tom of the surrounding landscape. The north side of the peak <br />is covered by coarse textured mountain shrub species such as <br />oak, chokecherry, and serviceberry. These shrubs are various <br />shades of green during spring and summer, turning to yellow <br />or reddish brown in fall. The south side of the type is <br />sparsely vegetated with sagebrush and oak exposing the light <br />buff colored rock outcropping. Horizontal lines and a coarse <br />texture are displayed by the exposed rock. No water or man- <br />made structures are present. Extensive roads surround the <br />peak and the Energy Fuels' tipple is located in the fore- <br />ground of views to the peak form County Road 27. <br />Pinnacle Peak is rated as characteristic or B scenery. The <br />lack of vegetative variety and water together with the pre- <br />Bence of significant intrusions in the surrounding landscape <br />contribute to the average rating. The north side of the <br />peak can be seen in the foreground from County Road 27 and <br />is moderately sensitive is classified as VRM management <br />class III. The south side of the peak can seldom be seen and <br />has a low sensitivity level, placing the area in class IV. <br />Sagebrush Minimal Relief <br />Flat to gently undulating landforms with sagebrush the dominant <br />vegetation type characterize this landscape. Channels of <br />intermittent streams create diagonal lines in the landform <br />6~8 <br />
