17_171 [Del Norte Co. Big Flat, River Trail, Red Hill, Bald Mt., Crescent] City, July 13, 1907. cuneate obcardate, pinkish white. P. sericata Greene. From Big Flat to the Redwoods little Tan Oak. Whole country badly burned. Ranges stretch off that are wholly denuded. Red Hill east and north and on summit shows vestiges of former forest. The Tan Oak sprouts have been twice killed recently and now form low scrub. The dead sprouts 6 ft. h., the new sprouts spreading, mainly 1 to 3 feet high and forming a lower cover. Douglas Fir and Yellow Pine here. I never before saw so extensive a stand of Pinus attenuata as on Red Hill. It formed a forest of several hundred acres, the trees 4 to 14 feet high and standing in the denser parts of the area as thickly as stalks in a cornfield. This dense area stretched down the north slope and I could not see all of it from the trail. If fire helps any pine it helps this to extend its area. Douglas Fir-stump at Big Flat, 2 1/2 feet diam. [diameter], healed over. Below Bald Mt. a short distance we entered the redwoods and rod through them for about six miles. A dense primitive forest of magnificent trees. Never before saw so many old giants going to their death but the younger stand was ample. This is a rain forest, the only forest in California that simulates a tropical Forest. A |
