Creator Transcript
  • Journal. Carrot Creek. June 5/43 [1943] and a long bald ridge running N [North] + south + forming the park boundary. A mt. [mountain] sits E.W. [East-West] across the head of the valley, lower slopes timbered but some grassland bluffs running down from the rocks. The west side burn is being progressively invaded by aspens + poplars moving up hill but it now supports a luxurious growth of grass + weeds. On the more exposed slopes grass is scarce + such forbs + shrubs as Potentilla (yellow) bearberry, + many others including sage abound. There is some shrubby cinquefoil + quite a lot of Shepherdia lower down. Aspen, poplar + willow with some Shepherdia is the deciduous lowlan [word crossed out] valley silva. There has been a heavy carryover of grass + the range is in fine shape. The indications from Aspen chawing is that elk have been in here for only 2 or perhaps 3 years - that is during the winter [Ernest] Stenton estimates perhaps 10 or a dozen head wintered in here My observations confirm this. Apparently they are all bulls.
