Hunts, Dean 2004 Mt. Lyell Salamander (Hydromantes platycephalus) Grinnell Lake outflow, just south of Grinnell Lake, John Muir Wilderness, Fresno Co., CA 37°27'21.3"N, 118°51'13.4"W (NAD27m), 3048m August 8 I found an adult female salamander on a mossy ledge in the spray zone of a small waterfall along the outflow creek at the south end of Grinnell Lake. The salamander was found at 9:30 PM and appeared to be out feeding. The salamander was on the east side of the water in the stream but the rock it was on was right in the center of the canyon that the stream flowed through. I only found this single individual despite extensive searching. SMA #17 Cathedral Lakes, Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne Co., CA August 10 2:15 AM. I found an adult female salamander in one of the seeps to the south of lower Cathedral Lake. It was in a mossy area near a crack in the granite with just a trickle of water running over it. The granite face did not have much water in most places, and a lot of the other mossy areas were dried out. 37°50'27.4"N, 119°25'23.0"W (NAD27m), 2757m Note: all GPS elevation readings from today appear to be too low based on comparison with maps.
