Trail, Cudahay to the night camp on ridge overlooking Klamath. (spelled Cuddihy on Forest Service map).
6000 down to 4000 ft.
[Siskiyou County July 6-7, 1907]

I saw a few trees of Picea Breweriana. They were less characteristic in habit than those first seen. Tsuga Mertensiana was still seen in its characteristic habitats at heads of north canyons, but in this high country was also found in the bottoms of south canyons. I noticed it reproducing abundantly in the bottom of a cold wet canyon valley. On the trail from Cudahay Valley to our night camp, July 7, at the latter end of the journey we came down considerably and soon saw the "valley" of the Klamath below us. Along the ridges for a mile or so we passed through a pure brush area of Quercus Sadleriana. I noticed that the mules of our pack train liked the foliage and ate it greedily, preferring it to any other shrub.

-Tsuga Mertensiana (Pattoniana), cones restricted to very top. As they grow on the lateral branchlets and there hang, the cluster in top is conspicuous and very heavy usually.
-Pinus monticola, rather rare, cones 9 in. long. The cones in clusters distinguish from Sugar Pine which bears its cones singly.
-Quercus Sadleriana, abundant as a shade shrub in fir forests.
