Bacant of north facing slope to microwave towers out of Las Vegas. Drive off the main highway (140) toward the station. This dirt road/trail leads toward the towers. We drove as far as possible and walked to the base of the canyon.

(2) Base of ravine - short climb at 2620 m.
No landslide, mostly scree with a few oaks and a few pines.
(3) 4 P. depressa under rocks - 2640 m.
(4) Pine trees more abundant 2700 m.
(5) P. cephalica on ridge between ravines at 2715 m. Small pines become thick, small oaks here & there.
