B.R. MOON 1987 Journal 15 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.
