West Yellowstone to Bitterroot Nat'l Forest, Montana, cont.'

(cont')
we arrived after it was closed. We then drove back S to
Camp Creek Campground which we reached ca. 1730. #
Vegetation fairly good sized Lodgepole pines with a large
number of Ponderosa pine and Douglas Fir mixed in. The
understory is fairly extensive. On arrival we went off
on foot for an hour so turning logs, etc. but found nothing
under them. In a boggy field near the campground Neg found
a Rana pretiosa (DAG 503) which I am keeping alive for David
Green. We returned to this field after setting up the tent but found
no other frogs before we were rained out ca. 1900. The remainder
of the evening was spent playing cards and writing field notes.
Camp Creek Campground to Bear Creek, Bitterroot Nat'l Forest, Montana
23 June
Up very late today: 0700. After packing up, etc., we drove
N on US 93 to Sula Range Station where I bought a forest service
map. Then N on US 93 to just S of Victor where we turned
W on a minor road to Bear Creek Campground. "Bear Creek"
was the first Genhronitus locality I wished to look at. MVZ has
2 specimens from there (1932 and 1935). The habitat here is
different from the areas visited to the south which consisted mostly
of predominantly Lodgepole Pine. The Bear Creek area consists
of a deep, steep-sided valley running E-W. Through it runs a
good sized (ca 20 ft across) stream of very fast flowing water.
The dominant vegetation is Douglas Fir with a fair mixing
of Ponderosa pine, especially to the east where the valley opens
