Location Narrative	The stand is located in the saddle of the High Peaks Trail, on the opposite aspect as the "Unmentionable" rock. There are tons of giant old manzanitas in the stand that look dead, but are laying prostrate & have rooted at the branches. Stand near climbing routes. There is evidence of fire in the plot, based on giant fire scars on the manzanitas. The stand is in the original 1908 monument designation. Macrotopography 09 (other) = saddle between 2 ridges. Huge manzanita in center of plot about, 15 m2, that is lying prostate and has rooted at all branches. Some prostrate branches with dbh of 30 cm.The plot is a hodge-podge of shrubs, but dominated by Arctostaphylos glauca. The plot is on the E end of the saddle with a N-facing aspect. The ground is linear & steep. The stand is surrounded by large breccia rock formations. There is lots of littler in the plot. Old rusty juice cans in plot.
