lower branches its practically stripped bare. At Summit Meadow, from which much of the snow was melted so that it was quite swampy & marshy, we saw a Red-breasted Napsucker, a small flycatcher sp.?, and heard frogs (Kyla?). From Summit Meadow we trudged up Lookout Peak which we scaled, arriving at the top at 12:30 p.m. From there we saw a Clarke Nutcracker, a strikingly colored brown, black & white bird.
We returned by means of numerous our trails, fighting our way through snow, scrubbery, and sliding down slippery pine-needle covered & gravelly slopes until we reached the new trail. On the way down, Mr. Dixon showed us some trees which had been marked up by bears, i.e. the bears stood on their hind feet & gnawed off the bark; he remarked that the bears seemed to like the Oregon Cedars for this purpose.
