104. The canyon is here narrow with steep slopes probably 700 feet up on each side. The river is a beautiful stream of pure sparkling water rushing over a stony bed, now small enough to cross on a pole or jump from one stone to another in the rapids, but showing evidence of fierce torrents at times that tear up the banks & pile cords of wood and logs against trees. The flats are narrow strips on one side & then the other, covered with beautiful Populus angustifolia fine old yellow pines. The whole bottom of the canyon is pure transition zone as the frosty nights & cold canyon air would suggest. The side slopes are mainly transition except where they face the south & are then Upper Sonoran.
