Mt. Baldy, Los Angeles Co., Calif.
stream bed about 50 feet from
the road. at approximately 1000
we headed back up the slope,
stopping at Glacier Campground
for lunch (5475 feet elevation).
after lunch we captured both
Sceloporus graciosus and
Sceloporus occidentalis as well as
Cnemidophorus tigris. In fact, one
of the largest Cnemidophorus I've
seen was captured here. again,
nearly all the Sceloporus we
caught were o?o? These animals
were still active on the sunny
rock surfaces until we left
at 1330. By then it was too
late to go to the top of the
road, so we returned home. We
found it is approximately 40 miles
from UCR to the end of the
road on Mt. Baldy.

the area about 0545 and observed
the canyon from above. Uta
