To the east for several miles stretched a similar country broken here and there by rugged Canyons. Mountain Margarita was common on this plateau sometimes in dense groves. A small horned toad was seen here, and a white tail jack rabbit seen. An aggregate of about 300 Sage grouse been seen in great Companies.
