Itinerary
Klamath R., 2100 ft., 2 mi. S Hornbrook
The uncultivated fields are largely grown up to foxtail grass, 4-6 inches high, which is already dry. On the S side of the Klamath R., the hills rise rather sharply, running up to Black Mt. which has some conifers starting at about the middle and running up to the top. To the W of camp, across the highway, there are hills which are largely covered with foxtail grass on their lower slopes but with Ceanothus cuneatus, Quercus garryana (scrubby), Juniperus occidentalis and a very few Pinus ponderosa in the gulches.
