Transition zone runs up on south slopes to within a few hundred feet of where I went, with yellow pine & bur oak - [[underline]] (Q.gambeli?) [[/underline]] on the slopes and [[underline]] Populus angustifolia [[/underline]] nearly up to our camp in the canyon bottoms.  It also runs down on cold slopes and in the canyon bottom to below the mouth of Powderhorn, with much fine yellow pine timber in the wider parts of the canyons, both old, big trees ready for harvest, young timber & seedlings.

It is generally open, clean forest, too closely grazed beneath it with many of the young trees bitten off by cattle.
