12 April Road from Globe Canyon to Summit Spring,
Providence Mountains, San Bernardino
county, CA. T11N R14E Sec's 9, 16.
We drove up through Globe Canyon
(in a Buick sedan - 2 wheel drive) and up the
right fork of the road toward Summit
Spring. We stopped at the edge of the
piñon-juniper woodland about 1 km north
of the spring and walked to the spring.
Piñon pines and junipers grow throughout
the hilly area and up to and over the
summit. Much of the area is rocky or
soily with occasional rock outcroppings.
A few trees are dead or fallen. Sunny,
windy, and cool out with no wildlife
to be seen. We found a ? desert spiny
lizard under a fallen piece of wood (species
account: Desert Spiny Lizard).
Then we hiked up to the summit and
looked over to the east in Beacher and
Barber Canyons.
On our way down & out of the canyon (by
car.) we stopped to chase a collared lizard, zebra
tailed lizard, and a whip-tailed lizard (species account:
western whip-tail). Overall, Globe Canyon is drivable by
2 wheel drive passenger car.
