June 10 1931 To Junipus. 4 Out on the northwest slopes where we can look east & see the tribal Plateau as a wall several miles away. Sage & juniper country. Passed some cliffrose on the ridges. Sage & juniper well browsed. This is the Bullhorn trail, and the stop is Willow Canyon. The range from here spreads out in to a large expanse of rolling hills & ravines covered with sage brush & junipers, all browsed up, noticeably. Lunch at Slide, near Junipus. Returned over ridge where the cliffrose showed great devastation. The last 2 yrs. didn't show so much. But the improvement is very slow. After this we came up on top of the mountain, & passed through the yellow pines & spruce forest which was the same as it is along the main highway. In the small valley, grass was very short, & almost every one showed sage headward erosion.
