southeast of Goldstone Spring, Providence
mountains, San Bernardino co., CA.
Utas on the shrubby ground of the ridge.
From some peaks I could see Winston
Basin and it wooded hills and washes and
from others I could see down the east
side of the mountains into the steep canyons
and broad washes at the canyon mouths.
From almost anywhere on the ridge I can
see both east and west to the horizon behind
the mountain studded desert. North are the
high peaks of the northern Providence mountains
and south are the high peaks around
Providence peak.
After reaching the peak at 1842 m. and
resting for a while I headed north back
down the ridge. Instead of taking the west
ridge, I went north and then west down
into the canyon southeast of Goldstone Spring.
Up on the ridge before I headed down
into the canyon, I saw another Collared
Lizard run from a rockpile to under a larger
rock nearby (species account: collared lizard).
The canyon I went down was wide at
the top with steep hilly sides but at the
cont'd.
