1, 1960 0.65 mi SW Squaw Valley (P.O.), 6700 ft. Placer Co., Calif. This scene was taken looking eastward towards Squaw Valley. The general open aspect of the area is apparent. It has been cleared for skiing, the clearing at the top of the picture is Squaw Meadows, and the skating rink of the Olympic Games shows clearly. In and along the creek in the lower half of the picture (running down the canyon from Squaw Peak) Rang muscosa, Tharsalea arota, hycarea edithae, and Phycoides were seen. Dragon flies were conspicuously absent. Small rodents (chipmunks mostly) were abundant in the rocks. label should read, "1.3 mi SW Squaw Valley (P.O.), 6500 ft, etc."
