Dry Forests clothe the hills of the Cariboo-Chilcotin region.
They are dominated by Douglas-firs, with extensive stands of Lodgepole Pine and Trembling Aspen.

Grasslands are scattered here and there where it is too dry for trees to grow or where fires have pushed back the forest.

Along the Fraser and Chilcotin rivers, this Dry Forest borders the even drier grasslands of the Bunchgrass Zone.
At the junction of the Fraser and Chilcotin rivers the Dry Forest meets the Bunchgrass Zone.
