[[/underlined]] Followed up a dry branch of Tusas R. about 6 miles to Hopewell, then turned north west and struck the head waters of the Brazos in about 6 miles farther. Passed by half a mile from the Brazos lakes & went a mile beyond to head of a long, grassy valley & camped near some springs. Aneroid at camp on Tusas R. 8650, at Hopewell 9700, on summit 10100, at camp 9800. Mainly forested country with big grassy park like valleys, a few small creeks, lots of grassy springs. Up to Hopewell the south slopes are all Transition zone with yellow pine & douglas spruce, & Abies concolor, but from about 9000 feet the N.E. slopes are Canadian with aspens, Picea englemani, & Abies lasiocarpa. Below Hopewell the timber has been mainly burned over, but on the headwaters of the Brazos are great stretches of Picea englemani & Abies lasiocarpa forest that evidently could not be burned & still stands black
