Longhurst 1939 Itinerary Aug. 15 Baker Cr. 11,100 ft. Baker Peak Peak is 12,600 ft high. Lower down on the ridge Alcorn picked up the skull of a ? Mt sheep along with the horn sheath of a ?. He also jumped two domestic sheep along this ridge, a ewe and lamb. They had probably become separated from a herd being ranged here earlier in the spring. Much of the sign which we have supposed to be that of Mt sheep may have been made by these domestic sheep. A good many cattle are ranged in this part of the national forest. There is much evidence of their presence about camp, but now most of them seem to be lower down the mt. Entanias quadrivittata are fairly abundant at this elevation and gopher workings were observed well above timber line. Porcupines are also about as their gnawings are to be seen on the bark of some trees. Alcorn picked up the skull of one near Treasury Lake.
