dwarfed Picea engelmani & Abies arizonia, & might be called Hudsonian. Aspens & even Picea pungens reach the top on the southern brow.

The view from the peak showed the Rio Grande Valley, Santa Fe, & almost to Albuquerque,  but nothing west of the range. North of the Santa Clara a still  higher peak rises with open grassy slopes on the south and timber along the crest.

Found Ochotona common in the rock slides, but no signs of Arctomys. Saw several deer tracks and one fawn track. Chipmunks go nearly to the top & Thomomys quite to the top on grassy slope. PIne squirrels are very numerous & busy & noisy, cones are rattling down all through the woods.

Found no water above lower edge of rock slides and birds are scarce.
