Grand Teton National Park
July 9, 10 and 12, 1931
Trip to Bailey Lake about 2 1/2 miles north-
east of Johnson's Ranch. Trail, more but
way light through dense lodgepole forest
with thick mat of grass, lupine and
dwarf blueberry on ground. The lake lies
in a swamp 2 miles long and 1/3 mile wide
with dense marsh grass knee high. A
few cattails remain in a few scattered
patches, and the marsh stream is
full of water lilies. The lake is shallow.
A floating muskeg about 100 ft. long
is just the south end of the lake.
Swans might nest there if tubers were
available but there are none, and
Fessler has never seen swans on
this lake. 2 Beaver houses were on the
lake, with beaver trails leading out
toward the willows surrounding the
swamp.
A loon and one young were swimming
on the lake. Two female mallards
were seen.
