Longhurst 1934 Itinerary Aug. 21 Troy Cr., 5400 ft. failed to find any trace of sheep. Deer sign was very plentiful along the Cr. and high up, willow overt several from a distance. During the day several short thunder showers passed over. golden Two eagles were seen flying high. In the evening we liked down the canyon to camp reaching there about 9:00 P.M. The fact that domestic sheep had been ranged on the ridge and the E. side of the mts, above Troy Canyon might have driven out the mt. sheep. The area about camp is thickly grown up along the Cr. with willows, cottonwoods, wild roses and sagebrush. The surrounding hills are sparsely covered with sagebrush, junipers, and a few spruce pines. Farther up the canyon the junipers and spruces become thicker and at higher elevations (The head of the canyon) are many fir and aspen trees. Sparrow hawks and green tailed towhees are numerous.
