The ridge is approximately 22 km long with an east-west orientation, similar to others in the area. In May of 1975 and in May of 1998, wildfires damaged a large portion of the mountain.[4] The reforestation efforts have yielded results, but the forest will take several decades to recover fully.

The northern slope is covered by coniferous forests with pine, fir, oaks and other species of evergreen trees and evergreen shrubs; such as Mexican White Pine Pinus ayacahuite, Hartweg's Pine Pinus hartwegii, Mexican Pinyon Pinus cembroides and Potosi Pinyon Pinus culminicola. The southern slope es covered by xeric shrubs.
