Creator Transcript
  • almost the entire distance through heavy forest of Pine, Spruce + some balsam. The creek bottoms support scattered willow clumps. The understory is largely of moss with Pyrola, Linnea, Arctostaphylos, + a very little grass. The area does not produce summer range deemed good for any game animal. Sign indicates a small wintering moose population. They had tipped 50% of the balsams + had eaten extensively of jack pine + of course used the willows heavily. The browse line down to 3-3 1/2 ' [feet] indicates the snow depth. Saw no game in the 12 miles. Healy Creek. June 17/43 [1943] Left Banff by car at 1:30 + came down to the cabin here - clearing after a very wet morning. Distance to cabin 6 miles. Then drove up Healy Creek almost to Sunshine - distance 7 miles. Up Healy creek the S [South] slope of Mt [Mount] Bourgeau presents some excellent game range. The lower parts bear excellent young Aspen groves with scattered willow clumps. Higher up are many escarpments
