The park protects a series of dry meadows at the top of a basalt cliff formation and the wetter meadows at its base, along with the interior Douglas fir forest. The dry, seasonally-wet, diverse meadows are extremely fragile.

Five red/blue-listed vascular plants are known to occur including red-listed Obscure Cryptantha (Cryptantha ambigua) and Needleleaved Navarretia (Navarretia intertexta) and blue-listed Northern Linanthus (Linanthus septentrionalis), False-mermaid (Floerkea proserpinacoides) and Awned Cyperus squarrosus.

Secondarily the park provides low-impact recreational opportunities and contains part of the regionally-significant 55 km long High Rim Trail.
