south up the valley about 8 miles & camped. Came about 30 or 35 miles. Camped at 6 P.M. & made up our mammals.
Star Valley is about 6450 feet high is well watered and parts of it are fine land. Where not irrigated it is barren.
Hardly a trace of upper sonoran comes into the valley. Spruces come down the cañons to the edges all around.
A few Populus angustifolius are the only lower zone plant noticed. Betula occidentalis grows along the streams.
Very few mammal signs noticed in the valley except S. armatus & Thomomys & Badger holes. We saw one Weasel.
Aneroid read 6450 in bottom of valley & 6950 at camp in S. end.
The mts. along east side of valley are higher than the Preuss Range & some of the peaks seem to have a good timberline.
