Remsen, J.V. 1977 Journal Kingston Range [cont] is the blue wash drawn on the topo map and is to the east of the canyon we ascended. The walking is OK except for the last 1/4 mile to the summit of the saddle - very steep and slippery. June 21 [cont] view from campsite : this is the saddle from which we descend- best way to ascend bare area A [this is the saddle we first climbed. bare area B bare bare Side canyon - this is the best route We reached the saddle at Bare Area A at 1000 (leaving campsite at 0630) and got to Bare Area B. at 1145. Starting down from B at 1215, we reached camp at 1500 going slowly. Many of the bare areas were the result of fire, and there does not appear to be any regeneration of trees - no seedlings seen. The remaining piyon forest is fairly tall. There are scattered junipers. No oaks. Carres very common. Also a tall yucca, perhaps a Nolina is scattered on the slopes - those at summit were still in flower. The brush in the gullies looks like a Ribes - looks like the same stuff that's on Clark Mt. The firs looked like they should have good populations of montane birds. We had 4 Hepatic Tanagers, 4 \u267b Dusky Flycatchers, and 4 W. Woodpeewes, 2 Hairy Woodpeckers, and a \u267b Cassin's Finch miles from the nearest fir. Time: 0530 - 1830, 1815 - 2130.
