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.
