Rovito, Sean 2004 Mt. Lyell Salamander (Hydromantes platycephalus) Below Helen Lake, near John Muir Trail heading toward Muir Pass, Kings Canyon National Park, Fresno Co., CA 37°07.556'N, 118°39.075'W (WG84,Gm), 3458m July 23 Sean Schorille found 8 adult salamanders just before dusk. They were found along a stream above a cliff with seeps. The stream comes from a high altitude lake and snowmelt and lead to a small lake adjacent to the trail, and formed a primary waterfall adjacent to a cliff with three seeps. The salamanders were under rocks in wet but not inundated area. Sean thought they were likely very abundant at the site and he collected 2 salamanders (SMR #14,15) (notes copied from Sean Schorille's field notebook, p.35)
