The Rocky Mountain Maple is one of the most common trees we are finding along the river it grows every where especially through the canyons and on mountain slopes. I first recorded it along the Lemhi River on August 13, 1805. It is a relatively small tree, growing up to 30 feet at my best estimate. The leaves are a beautiful arrange of colors; orange, red, and yellow. It reminds me of Falls back East. The tree has a short slender trunk with upright branches. I have felt no hairs on the bark.
