It is native to much of the western United States and parts of central Canada where it grows in several types of habitat including alpine mountain peaks. It is a perennial grass with stems reaching about half a meter long and generally lying prostrate at ground level when mature. The flower cluster is an arrangement of consecutive single-spikelet nodes which break apart when dry. Each spikelet has an awn up to 2.5 centimeters long which curves outward.
