This web page has been designed to help people who are not tree experts in the identification of native and commonly found non-native trees found in the mountains of northern Utah. This key includes nearly all trees found on wild lands in most of northern Utah, southern Idaho, and southwestern Wyoming. For additional information about this site and hints on tree characteristics to look for, go to the information page. The dichotomous key will guide you through identifying a specific tree and feel free to test your identification skills with an interactive quiz. You can also choose to go to the northern Utah species list and from there you can go directly to photos and information about a specific tree.
