B.R. MOON 1987 Journal 12 9 April Trail from Granite Cove to Dorner's Camp, Granite Mountains, San Bernardino county, CA. T8N R13E Sec's 18, 12, 7, 6, 5. 1000 PST. Bruce Wagg and I embarked on our trail-mending tour on the trail from Granite cove to Dorner's Camp. We began at the head of Granite cove and proceeded to re-flag and mark with rock piles the trail. Approaching the saddle between the plateau and Cottonwood canyon we saw several fence lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis) on rocks and pino and juniper stumps all along the trail. Also along the ridge, we saw about 6 turkey vultures soaring above the mountains. The pinon-juniper woodland was denser along the north facing slope above Cottonwood canyon. The woodland above the mouth of Cottonwood wash had burned in the past, and the only plants making a strong comeback so far were the smaller shrubs. The trail was hard to follow in this area so we flagged and marked the trail heavily. We got to the end of the trail, on the ridge northeast of Snake spring at 1600, making it a 6 hour hike.
