Libocedrus decurrens, Quercus kelloggii are common but the plants of the zone below crowd up into them.  Quercus chrysolepis, Garryae [[blank]], Rhamnus californicus, Pursia [[blank]], Alnus rhombifolius are common along river and low down on sides of ridges.  The river flows south, making a hot trough like valley with high rocky sides.  There are conflicting influences.  The cold stream carries some things down.  The hot, shut in trough carries others up.  Pinus murrayana & Abies concolor grow in wet places.  Artemisia tridentata grows along the river, but it is in its zone.

Willows grow along one side.  The second lake is but a mile beyond.  It seems to be shallow and dead popples stand over most of it.  It is 30 to 40 rods wide and half a mile long.  no marsh along the shores.  The river flows through it.
