Itinerary Longmont 1939 June 29 Crooked R. at Bear Cr. above Ft. Klomath, after passing Bend, the lodge-pole pines became more interspersed with western junipers and finally gave way to them altogether at lowered elevations, and only on the higher hills and ridges sparse stands of lodge-pole pines and a few yellow pines occurred. About the camp, which was pitched on the S side of the R. The country consisted of lava rim-rocks bordering the canyon and about 1/2 mi. wide at this point. The sides of the canyon were not steep, however, as talus broken from the rim-rocks had piled along the sides forming forming slopes almost to the banks of the R. in most places. Flora: Sagebrush; scattering junipers in some places forming quite dense groves; a few willows along the R.; brunch grass. Soil: fine Sandy. 50 traps were set along the lower slopes among the junipers, sagebrush, and rocks. Traps were set from 5-20 ft. apart.
