Journal R.E. Johnson 1967 Sept. 15 Bridger Montana to Ferris Mtns y Carbon Co, Wyoming (contd). The Ferris Mtns are higher (max-elevation 10,037 ft.) and lie east of the Green Mtns outside the Lander BLM District. (in the Rawlins District) but Mr. Rollston was fairly certain there was no road approaching the top and that there would be no alpine zone. Limber Pine probably reaches the top. I drove east through Jeffrey City & found the turnoff to the Green Mtns but decided there was no point in going there since it was obvious by binoculars that the mtns were timbered to the top & were not steep (no diffs). The Ferris Mtns ahead looked more intriguing so I drove on. Turned off (south) the highway (Wyo. 220) at the 2nd road east of Bucklin Reservoirs. This road crosses many fence lines (with gates) before reaching the base of the mountains. This fenced area is flat grazing land with some cattle, many antelope (50 I seen) and too many hunters. The road becomes impassable for the VW at a creek crossing (cold) so I hiked the road up creek & eventually to an old mine & collapsed buildings. These are just below the summit ridge of the west division of these mountains. I climbed to the top (9500 ft. approx). Further west was a slightly higher point (91675). This section of mtns have open stands of Limber Pine on most slopes, but there are some barren areas. There is nothing resembling alpine turf. The ridge is solid rock & boulders. A Blue Grouse & a Rock Wren were seen. Slightly lower several Robins were heard. Looking east one could see the tops of the pks of eastern part of the range, which is slightly higher (10,037). They looked identical to the one on which
