Wednesday Aug 6. Timberline Below Camp We wandered in the afternoon but the afternoon cleared and we had made a trip above Timberline. We climbed diagonally up the slopes to its saddle and spent the afternoon on the alpine meadows and the recent peaks. Our camp is at 4300 feet, at Timberline on the river side of a quich. In places near on the southern slope tongues of boulder ascend to about 4800 and boulder climbs to about 5200. Collected a number of plants between camp and the high Peaks visited. Found some common alpine buttercups and captured 8, (3 young and 4 adult) by stalking after pining them take refuge in holes. Found many of these winter nests which were about 6 inches apart, and generally lined with Saturday August 25. I set off from Corrally Our left early was climbed the trail toward the summit. It rose steadily, and soon reached Timberline. Here it still climbed and at the highest point was about 5700 feet. I found a family of white-tailed ptarmigan at the highest point and took a couple of specimens. Evenings were any Common and I picked up a couple. The trail crossed a broad pass about 5 miles from Timber to Timber. The adjacent peaks were not high probably about 6000 feet. The descent on the Bear Lake side was steady and quite rapid. In the wet meadows among the scrub we found willow ptarmigan and I took 3 specimens. The viewing the Mts on the opposite side of Bear Lake was very impressive. There was an almost continuous series of 9 or 10 glaciers overhanging the Lake. We reached the lake through a forest of pine and spruce at sunset.
