W. Riemer 1949 Journal 25 June Salt Lake City to Hobble Creek, E Springville, Utah Co., Utah - to Provo via U.S.#40 and #189, called by some the Alpine Loop. Most of roadway through high alpine valleys and meadow. Extremely green and lush appearing. Rapid streams and rivers frequent. Mts (Wasatch Range) steep, rocky. Little organic matter on or in soil. Perhaps this feature prevents salamander existence in these mountains. V. Tanner says Rockies with same type of soil (Wasatch Range considered part of Rockies, says Kelson). Stopped along road in several places to look for Pseudacris and B. woodhousii. At 13.6 mi. NNW Heber, Summit Co., got large number of various kinds of tadpoles (unident- ified) and adult pipiens. 13 mi. NE Provo got pipiens and Thamnophis elegans. After reaching Provo, visited Vance Tanner, an agreeable sort of fellow, who showed us some of collection of Brigham Young University. Also provided information on collecting sites in State (see R. Stelbuis journal) and suggested Hobble Creek as one of best local spots for collecting. Camped for night along creek,
