It is situated about 4 ft. above ground in the soil & root mat of an upturned red fir tree in a (formerly) dense forest area which apparently suffered a windthrow of a number of trees (prior to 1948 at least). The forest is over 60 % red fir, with some silver pine, mountain hemlock, & lodgepole pine (few). It is broken, in addition to the scattered down trees, Sugar Bowl Cr.-200 ft. to west, and by rocky, sparsely vegetated slope some 700-800 ft. to east and southeast.
