were only at 3 o'clock
when timber line was
near and we well of
the glacier.
The forest was largely
Pine, which is an
equire species. The leaves
are different; the cones
smaller and the general
growth of the tree different.
The larches do not bend
over like Mountain Hemlock,
yet the tree is slender
and somewhat similar
in form. Among the
Hemlocks are the Douglas fir, White Fir,
Cedar (not Linnce), Yew,
and Mountain Pine.
The flower of the forest
is solid fagus which
cups up the stump
and makes everything
green -- an effect I
have never before seen.
The trees are close
together of moderate size
and bring with quiet
masses of moss. There
are no yellow pine and
no Balsam fir.
The trail to the glacier.
