The west side of the mountain range would have a considerably higher annual precipitation than the east side so the west side would probably have a lot of vegetation whereas the east side may even be desert or semi-desert such as in British Columbia Canada where the west side of the Coast Ranges is a rainforest and the east side in the vicinity of Kamloops is semi-arid to arid.
