R.E.Johnson 1967 Journal 149 Sept.15 Bridger, Montana to Ferris Mtns., Carbon Co., Wyoming (cont). For I stood, except the summit pk itself which had a skeleton forest of white trees on it & therefore looked more barren. Nothing resembling turf was seen & no rosy finch habitat. There are some spectacular [illegible] rock formations with cliffs on their sw face below this highest of ridges but their exposure assures that snow could not remain around them. The the se in the distance a snowy (fresh) range could be seen. Earlier I had noted the snow had fallen on the Bighorns & Wind River Mtns. None was seen on the Ferris Mtns, again confirming that the pks here do not attain the alpine climate of the known rosy finch ranges of Wyoming. My interest in the Ferris & Green Mtns. [illegible] was that they lie between the known ranges of the Black & Brown species of Rosy Finch and, geographically speaking, hybrids would most likely occur in these mtns (if it occurs) if they were alpine enough. They aren't & so one can't tell if the 2 species would hybridize. The Laramie Range (much further east) remains as a last possibility. slightly They are higher but not really inbetween geographically. Sept.16 Ferris Mtns to Snowy Mtns, Wyoming Clouds and rain cover the Ferris Mtns this morning. Drove south to Rawlins on US 287 & east to let with [illegible] Wyo.150, then south to Saratoga & east to Snowy Range Pass in the Medicine Bow Mtns. Timberline = 10,500 - 11,000 ft. There are many lakes along the extensive flat plateau on
