The Kettle River Range is a series of mountains forming the north
to south backbone of Ferry County in Washington State. This is a sub-range of
the much larger Monashee Mountain Range originating in British Columbia and
stretching south to a big bend in the Columbia River drainage southwest of the
confluence with the Spokane River. Bordered on the west by the Kettle River,
the Curlew Valley and the San Poil River and to the east once again by the Kettle
River and the Columbia River. This range of mountains dominates the Ferry County landscape. Flora of this mountain range is lowland
forests and open meadows giving way to heavier alpine forests in the higher
elevations.
