Upper Sonoran zone runs up on steep, hot slopes as high as our camp, with [[underlined]] Juniperus pachypbloea & monosperma, Pinus edulis, quercus grisea + Cercocarpus parvifolius. [[/underlined]]  Actually lapping past transition to a level with lower edge of Canadian on the cold slopes.  Much of the mesa tops is Sonoran with scattered timber & short grass.

Saw bear track & sign, lots of Deer tracks & 2 old does of the blacktail, but more of the tracks were of the little [[underlined]] couesi. [[/underlined]]  Saw plenty of Sciurus aberti & Citellus [[glaucomys?]] on the way up.
