Ronto, Dean 2005 Journal South of Bond Pass, Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne Co., CA (cont) Aug.16 ... I looked at yesterday (38.16956°N, 119.59175°W [WGS84, 6m acc.), 2910m elev.). The habitat looked great for Hydromantes, especially on the right side of the seep zone where a stream of water flowed down through fissures in the rock. I searched from 8:45-9:30PM but found no salamanders. I collected Neltia for Dean J. Snow Lake and Middle Emigrant Lake, Emigrant Wilderness, Stanislaus National Forest, Tuolumne Co., CA Aug.17 I hiked over Bond Pass this morning and walked south across Summit Meadow towards Snow Lake. Above the lake to the east on the ridge, I found several large seep areas. They were west-facing and fairly wet, and looked like good Hydromantes habitat, except that most of the rock was marble or other metamorphics rather than granite. I started flipping rocks in the northernmost seep at 10:30AM and worked my way south until I got to a cascade coming down from the top of the ridge (38.17036°N, 119.62218°W [WGS84; 13m acc.), 2929m elev.), about 1.1km WSW of Bond Pass. The habitat here looked excellent with wet mossy areas, crevices and splash zones from small waterfalls. I climbed nearly to the top and searched until 12:30PM but found no salamanders. This spot deserves another look at night. I walked along the trail across Summit Meadow to Grizzly Meadow, flipping logs along the way but finding nothing underneath.
