Other birds seen near the mtn. top: Chipping Pine Siskins Sparrow, Oregon Junco, Clark's Nutcracker & Cassin's Finch, Mammals: Chipmunk, Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel, Cony, Mtn Goat Hair. The rock is similar to that in Glacier Park, Montana (ie. sedimentary & argillite-like) and occurs in 2 colors: light green & light purple - these weathering to greens & orange. Ripple marks are common and small clam fossils (?) occur in some place & look very similar to the Cretaceous Schales of Glacier Park. Considerable banding occurs in some purple rocks. The south slope where the Finches fed is 50% ciffs & other rock & 50% trees (Fir & W.B. Pine) shrubs (huckleberry, bear grass, creeping juniper), and herbs (Pentstemon ellipticus). Heather (Cassiope & the white Phyllodoce occur near the top (Cassiope flowers are mostly dried up already). St. John's Wort occurs near the top of the s. slope. Spar Peak can be clearly seen to the east & a lookout bldg can be seen on top of Sketchman #1. The latter may be reached by a trail (6 mi.) from the south or by traversing the ridge south from Sketchman #2. The Montana-Idaho boundary marker is located several "bumbs" down the east ridge (just prior to the split in the ridge - one headed north as rugged lower peaks & one headed se above the unnamed lake.
