R. Moon 1987 Journal 21 13 April Bonanza King Canyon, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. Then we hiked up the brushy, rugged north fork of the canyon to a shear approx. 10 m cliff that we could not pass. From there we could see a large limestone natural arch with some Pinyon Pines growing out and near it. The cliff we stopped at was at about 1650 m. On our way back down out of the canyon in the hot, midday sun, we put in three more pitfall traps at the canyon mouth. This area is in Yucca / Creosote/Catclaw Acacia shrubland and a broad sloping bajada of mixed soil and rocks from the canyon. On our hike we saw only a few Whiptailed Lizards and Side-Blotched lizards in the area around the mouth of the canyon. Then we left in the mid afternoon and drove back to the Granite Mountains.
