Deer tracks were quite numerous on the Capitol Divide. They were large tracks. Down in Stephens Canyon were many Mt. Beaver working, especially in the burned area. Many trees had been tarped & some completely girdled at the ground up to 14 ft. This height may have been caused by snow. No high girdling was seen, although Brockmann reported it. He saw only the patches that had rotted or fallen off high up on girdled dead trees. Pikas were in the tens of this canyon by the hundreds.
