July 5. Cross Creek Lake Spent the forenoon in this fjord. Drove to a busy camp on the head of the valley in which many deer were resting, a great many caribou and some white geese. A fine stream dropped down into the head of the canyon having plainly made it. Saw one of the camp women and many other birds in the canyon. A herd of elk has been ranged on a meadow in the face of the slope. They told me that formerly a pair of eagles usually had a nest in the canyon Tuesday July 6. To Lava Beds Broke and I went one to the Lava beds at the foot of the lake and spent the time there exploring them. There were a great many small calves, and in them were resting many ducks geese, terns etc. The lake is evidently found by the flow of lava during the canyon in which the stream formerly ran. This is north of Lava Lake below the big one but this year it is dry. The big lake not filling its canks.
