354. Trip upon Mt. Trumbull May 4, 1933. Today we followed a trail from H.A. Kentis' homestead up to the ridge of the Trumbulls. The range, from the valley floor to the Manzanita district above Little Spring showed heavy grazing and very little grass. Main species of vegetation were: juniper, pinon sage (tridentata), ephedra, atriplex canescens on valley floor, and Chrysothamnus. A brother-in-law of Kentis has a homestead at Little Springs. There is a good supply of water for household limited garden use although the water is hard. Just above the Chrysothamnus valley of the homestead begin Gambel oak and Manzanita, interspersed with juniper, pinon & sage. Toward the top of the mountain are the following predominate species: Yellow Pine, Gambel oak, Manzanita, service berry (very abundant), Garbaya flavescens (not heavily browsed except in over-browsed areas and there utilized heavily). Toward the southern half of the Trumbulls, Snowberry, Purshia, Cowania & a thorny species of Ribes are added to the list. Deer forage is excellent on the east side of the Trumbulls within the Monument.
